I think the insurance industry did a study a few years back and the result was that grey is the least visible colour for a car. The most visible colours are yellow at night and red during the day- I havent seen many grey firetrucks lately. If someone's not paying attention, it doesn't matter what colour your car is though. When safety is a concern, I'll take any little bit of help available- Safety is one of the major factors when choosing a 9-5 is it not?
Are these the only choices for you? I have the Hazelnut and think its great, it looks lighter than the paint chip in the brochure- you'll have to see one in person. The Cosmic blue looks great too.
From what you have listed- I'd go with the black. True, black cars are harder to keep looking nice, but well worth the trouble when done properly. Getting a California Car Duster would help out a lot to keep your black car (or any car for that matter) dust free.
