It has nothing to do with color registration or printing.
It is an indicator for retailers to quickly identify which month the issue came out, and when to take the comic back off the shelves/return it to the distributor.
The color is easily visible as a bar if you look at the comic on its side on the top side, and the colors are uniform among the publisher's line for the month...notice how, for example in New X-Men 114, it is green, in 115 it is black, 116 it is cyan...117 would have originally been magenta, but it came out two months late, so it was black instead. These colors (registration colors in RGBK printing) rotate every four months.
