The color is a matter of interpretation. You are identified by your drivers license, and the vehicle by the license plate. The citation will not be dismissed.

Probably not. Depending on the time of day and the officer's statements on their portion of the ticket, a minor error such as that would do nothing.
Some colors look different at different times of the day, others may have been painted after the citation. If the officer has the license plate correct, remembers the violation, etc, then there is nothing you can do.
Can't hurt to try though!

No. This is not a redecorating project where a color mix-up would be a disaster...
The Officer may get a suggestion to either not write a color or write the correct color; however this is not a case of mistaken identity if the color is the only variance.
Blue cars look black in the evening/night.
I wish you well.

Did you sign the ticket? The ticket was issued to you, not the vehicle. Most courts will not dismiss the ticket, plus, you will have to pay court costs for taking up their time. Not worth the hassle.

it is very doubtful that will get the ticket dismissed, better to work on the radar, was it caliberated by someone with the proper license, within the last year, were the officers tuning forks calibrated, and when did he check the caliberation, it should be done before and after each shift.

Some people will try anything to get out of taking resposibility for their own mistakes.

If you would have been driving legally,what difference would the color make?

Nope. It has no bearing on the violation. He has to identify YOU as the violator in court, not your vehicle.

Nope! the plate number is all that matters

It seems like it speaks to his credibility if he can't even get the color of the vehicle correct. Jeez, it says right on the registration. I would note that in court. Although police have a low bar these days, the cop is probably right , they don't have to be correct on much.
