Bummer. I was hoping that I could get away with guessing the colour randomly.
I see the thread has been revived.

I have already checked that but could not find anything feasable. I also checked many board games and sports but to no avail.

Dalek-Related?
(If this is right, I can only guess that the black/green distinction would be the result of some sort of editing decision. And I would again go with Silver, I guess. Maybe Red?)
EDIT: Never mind, White is the new Supreme Dalek.

Another straightforward puzzle:
A clock that was correct at midnight started losing three and a half minutes every hour. It stopped two hours ago, showing "13.11". Keeping in mind that it ran less than 24 hours, what is the correct time now?

I say 2PM (14:00)
---------------------------------------------------
It loses 7 min per 2 hours that pass.
At noon, it will read 12:00 - (6 x 0:07) = 11:18
At 2PM, it will read 11:18 + (2:00 - 0:07) = 11:18 + 1:53 = 13:11

Oops! Yes, thank goodness, I did. (I just found out how difficult it is to design a logic puzzle from scratch.)
