black is great on a car, but very hard to keep clean, especially if there's a desire to avoid hairline scratches and swirls. There's also a need to avoid car washes to keep the car scratch free.
Grey/Silver color range is much easier to keep clean, and stays cooler in the sun.

That's true, however there's also a surprisingly big drop in reflectance going from white (~85%) to even a light gray (~50%). Now these figures are for "normal" flat paint used for steel construction, the glossy metallic paints used for cars probably have higher reflectances. But still.
