The term Krishna means Black.
Both Rama and Krishna are the Avatars of Vishnu.
Then why the difference in skin tone?
I checked.

Wearing Maravuri, clothes made of barks,
with Akshamala Kamandalu and Dhanda.

Reddish,
Golden hair-locks,
With Vedas as Four Arms.
Dwapara Yuga.
Blue-black,
With Peethamabra,
