Technically, black and very dark cars are slightly harder to pick up on radar than lighter colored cars. My former neighbor was a motorcycle cop and he told me that he sometimes had to "shoot" a black car two or three times before getting a reading, especially if they didn't have a front license plate.
Best deterrent here is follow someone faster then you. You'll have time to react and it won't matter what kind of color car you have. Saved my butt a lot of times - radar or not.

I have to agree here, especially at night. I would get hit with a laser a few times when driving my GS (Black) and my radar detector would light up like crazy. In the daytime, it's usually 2 or less hits with the laser.

The BOP is a little "brighter", has more metallic in it, and does more color change in the sun (think glacier frost mica under florescent lights...that's what BOP does in the sunlight)
But, I do like BSP too.
