'Ford wrote in his autobiography that he told his management team in 1909 that in the future “Any customer can have a car painted any color that he wants so long as it is black”.[
However, in the first years of production from 1908 to 1914, the Model T was not available in black but rather only grey, green, blue, and red.'

Not sure I trust wikipedia on that I would have to find a primary source before including that.

Wiki was not the first place I heard that.
Wikipedia do insist on sources; the one they cite here is Ford 1922 'My life and Work by Henry Ford' http://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/7213 page 72
