As most of the other's have said already, black is hard to keep clean and all and I mean all surface defects will be noticable from a distance. Stratches, dings, dents, dirt, water spots, oxidation are all extremely magnified on a black vehicle.
I had two white trucks in the past and I have to say white is the most forgiving paint I have known so far. Dirt from everyday driving is well hidden (mud isn't included) and the occassional stratch is hard to notice.
Go to the light colors and don't look black er back.

It's hard to keep clean, yes, but it's the best looking color when kept clean.
Here is a picture of my truck. It's fairly clean here and in decent light. Can you see all the scratches and dings?

What's the resolution of the camera taking the picture and how much has the picture been altered?
It doesn't matter, black shows defects easy and from far away. It's the contrast that makes it more noticable. I know - I had a black car once, and only once.
