>I think this is a myth (at least in the US). I don't even have to provide the color of my car to get an insurance quote.

When I renew my insurance, on the website it shows 'grey'. They know what colour your car is.

The color is usually required to tie it back to government databases. I can change my car color and it doesn't affect my quote at all.
