For myself I've always bought the black (or whatever they call it this week) iPhone because I just assumed it would be the easiest to get and would have the highest/easiest resale. The resale is less of an issue as I'm just perpetually on the upgrade program now but I've always worried that getting a more exotic color could potentially push back my ship date. Maybe this year I'll try getting a color other than black. I just don't care much because I always put a (black) case on my phone so I don't imagine a colored iPhone would even be noticeable. As for cars and other places where I could pick color I often go with gray/black because it's more versatile, less "offensive", and doesn't require me to "commit" to a color. I'm fine with bland colors overall whereas I can't be sure that I'll like that blue/red/etc color in 1 week, month, year. Bland just feels like the safe choice, even if that's a silly reason.
