From the November *Gourmet* magazine, p. 110 :
 
"The outside of a pot, any pot, radiates heat into your kitchen,
a sheer waste of energy and often a source of discomfort to the cook.
A *black* pot wastes significantly more energy in this way than
a bright stainless steel pot.  (Ever get into a black car on a sunny day?)
 
(from a Cuisinart cookware ad, signed by Cuisinarts's president, no less.)
 
It ends with "Next time, I'll try to clear up some misconceptions about the heat
conductivity of cookware."
 
Gosh, I can hardly wait.
