I agree with will, the shortest path is the fastest, therefore, my color (same as his) is the better color. That and the fact that all my subs pick up extra electromagnetic waves, thus making me even faster.

As you can see by the diagram above, red is the slowest color (385 tHz). Black, being the lack of color, would be even slower. White, being an equal distribution of all colors would be somewhere in the median range.
So, as my car is Blue, that puts me right up near the top. Unfortunately, my research also shows that I must bow to Jason and the Purple Pearl as the fastest color on the chart.
Maybe now, we can consider this settled....

Well, as stated above, black is the absence of light, or color. That being said, light travels at a certain speed, from point "A" to point "B". So when all colors of the spectrum, including white is leaving point "A", black is already at point "B"...
...meaning black is always in front of light or any color...

...meaning black is always in front of light or any color... A) Black is fat, and too big to move, AND occupying both places at once.
B) it'* still at point A, and a look a like is already at point B, remember it'* not the same black.
