White disapates heat the fastest. White FMIC might look kinda gay though...get too much attention and stuff.
Personally I'm going to get some CTS-V/Escalade mesh grill, spray it black, and leave the intercooler shiny. Right now, no grill on my red car = fuck up the gay stock FMIC for all I care. Doesnt matter though; it doesnt run anyways

your argument would hold true if the car were never moving...or just sitting in traffic...while still trying to cool.
