I did prepare a proper answer to this, but as you prefer jokes, I won't bother to post it.

I'd settle for grey:

(If it was actually true black it wouldn't reflect any light, so we couldn't see it).

my word, you are grumpy johnathan-joe!
more fool you then for not letting your prepared answer show, you did all that work for nothing :)

daftgrandad, I have to disagree. It's made of Wensleydale my old mate Wallace has been there for his holidays and I've seen his holiday photos.

lol jonathan-joe...lighten up

[Mamyalynne]

My answer was proper.

[Toureman]

When ever I look up at it it's usually white but it keeps changing it's shape.

I'd say it's fairly dark grey given the albedo of 0.12, reflecting back approx 12% of light.

Polar bears however, I am reliably informed, are black.
