See the thread on "Shmurah Kirniyos"

RYGB noted that the SA haRav (453:5) says it's okay.

RYZirkind writes that there are a number of posqim either way, and faxed
in the Pisqei Teshuvos at
<http://www.aishdas.org/avodah/faxes/piskeiTeshuvah.pdf>. (Warning,
not the highest res fax in the world.)

R' Dov Bloom paraphrased R' Zevin, Modaim beHalakhah, starting on pg 259.
The Chasam Sofer teshuvah 123 allows qitniyos matzah only under certain
conditions. The Binyan Tzion haChadashos is more meiqil, and the Chayei
Adam kelal 127 outright permits in black-and-white.

Adding my own 2 cents: the CA might be reflecting Litta's relative
lenient version of the minhag qitniyos, in line with those Litvishe
qehillos that ate peanuts on Pesach because they weren't specifically
included in the original minhag, and those that permitted mei qitniyos.

Tir'u baTov!
