Might want to get that checked out

Why doesn't 할머니 have the 의 ending for the genitive?

It can be dropped if the meaning is clear without.

You are right, possession is omitted here.

And don't to get confused with 할머니는 팔꿈치가 검은색이에요, which means "my grandmother has a black elbow".

I would also translate that as "My grandmother's elbow is black." "팔꿈치" is the subject in both sentences.

This doesn't make sense. If 발꿈치 is heel then how is 팔꿈치 an elbow? Shouldn't it be the wrist?

I guess the wrist would be 손꿈치 in that way? For your reference the wrist is 손목 and the ankle is 발목.

Well, if she is black, her elbow is probably black, too.
