Crypt Ghast is black. Reminder/Rules text is not considered for color identity in Commander (which is the reason that Wizards designed Extort that way)

DC nailed it! And here's the ruling, to back him up: 

903.4. The Commander variant uses color identity to determine what cards can be in a deck with a certain commander. The color identity of a card is the color or colors of any mana symbols in that card's mana cost or rules text, plus any colors defined by its characteristic-defining abilities (see rule 604.3) or color indicator (see rule 204).

903.4b Reminder text is ignored when determining a card's color identity. See rule 207.2.
