The waist on the black pants was way too small.  It fit like a 38X30, instead of the 40X30 size I ordered.

I bought 3 other colors of the same 40X30 original 874 pants.  Of those, the silver gray was way too small also!  The dark navy and the charcoal colored pants fit just fine.  I don't know what the problem is, but I've been buying Dickies 874's for years.  It is only in the last few that this sizing problem has arisen.  I don't understand why there should be a difference between colors.  Dickies needs to do a better job sizing their apparel, for sure!.  The waist on the silver gray pants was way too small.
