What a retarded state. Glad I left that dump. 
Egg means in Germanic languages an egg but is often referring to a dick.
Schwarzenegger could be translated to a "Black Dick Man",
or "The man with a black wiener".
Will they be forbidden also?
Just speculating with the few languages I know...

And it appears that the story was essentially bogus...

From the San Jose Mercury News article:
But while a state agency was indeed mulling the relationship between automobile color and greenhouse gases, the rumored ban on black wasn't actually true.
"It's completely fallacious," said Stanley Young, a spokesman for the state's Air Resources Board, the agency supposedly behind the ban. "At no time was it mentioned, contemplated or proposed that we would ban or restrict any color."

Heat reflective paint for automobiles has yet to be been invented. To meet the mandate proposed, black and other dark colors would have to be eliminated by the auto manufacturers.
"There are only three ways for heat to move from one place to another:
conduction, convection, radiation.
Conduction is molecules crashing into each other. If one side of a material
is hotter than the other, heat can be conducted through.
Convection is molecules carrying energy through a liquid or gas. Hot air
rising is an example of convection.
Radiation is light waves passing from one material to another. Incandescent
light bulbs emit radiation because the wire within is heated.
Color has no effect on conduction or convection. It does, however, affect
radiation. Material looks dark if it absorbs most of the light that hits
it. A material that cannot absorb radiation will reflect it to your eyes,
making the material look like the color of the light. If a surface absorbs
most of the light hitting it, the surface heats up quickly."
ie. Black/dark colors naturally absorb and radiate heat while lighter colors reflect it.

Stanley Young's statment is a typical answer from a politician to the uninformed masses. They didn't have to mention, contemplate or propose banning black in the bill, it is implicit.
