Why would anyone even consider such a ground rule necessary? Either the ball leaves the park or not. If anything, there should be a ground rule only if something else is in effect.
BTW, when the top of the fence is painted or covered with material of a different color, it is usually (if not always) as a visual aid, not a demarcation of DBT.
