I don’t know the official ruling here, but generally speaking barcodes need to be completely legible. So the safest option would be black on a white background.
I’m sure you will find the policy somewhere if you start digging.
If there are any issues with them being able to scan them, then you will end up having to pay for stock to be returned.

Hi Curonian_LTD
The guidelines specifically mention white space (background) that should be applied to barcodes that also go directly onto packaging.
When printing Amazon barcodes onto labels, make sure that the printed labels include:
Sufficient white space around the Amazon barcode and related text: (0.25 inch on the sides and 0.125 inch on the top and bottom)
ASIN or FNSKU
Product name
Item condition
If you are the product manufacturer or brand owner and you want to print barcodes directly onto the product packaging, apply for your own GS1 standard UPC barcode. For more information, see GS1.
