Sinklar is very good at making things simple for those of us that are a little slower than everyone else. Please note that I said us, that included me. As to dragons however, the last one we faced was the little white from the first 3E adventure, I forget the name withou the books in front of me. With a DM running them right, I would run scared from most of them.
What's the deadliest color?

No color at all.
Shadow is by far the most deadly of Dragons.
I rember a party barely living thru the pure carnage of a Shadow Dragon by a combination of luck, divine intervention and a vorpal sword.
Still the loss were far greater then they ever feared possible.

I gotta say pink. Whenever I see this color I just cringe in fear and loathing.
Oh you mean Dragons, I get it now. Red all the way. It's always the red.

Cool...a thread about dragons. 
Be careful, my brother. While dragons should be respected and feared, heroes ARE rather tenacious and very often will triumph over even the fiercest foes. As hard as it may be to believe it, dragons have actually died in my campaigns, although they have always done quite a bit of damage before being sent into the loving claws of Tiamat.
We must strive to make sure that DMs are well prepared enough to make sure that any encounter his players have with dragons is the stuff of legend....
As far as deadly dragons go, I've always had a special place in my heart for blacks and greens. Black dragons, although not the most intelligent, have an acid breath weapon, which is just cool. Acid is not to be underestimated. I have always ruled that the bodies of black dragons are suffused with acid, so that their blood and flesh are toxic as well. Lots of fun to be had there.
Green dragons seem to have a lot of style. They're beautiful and sleek. My own high level character, an elven fighter/wizard named Kayen Telva (after a pregenerated character in the original Slave Lord series), fought with a green dragon for several decades before finally defeating her.

If its which colours of dragon I like, well, that's a different prospect 
Reds can be good fun, though I prefer blacks and blues (I really like the new depiction of blues with that rhino-horn style thingy ), and greens are good too. White's I quite like as well. In terms of metallics I really like silvers, along with coppers too.
Of other dragons, well, deep dragons are nice but I really like shadow dragons and fang dragons (one nation in my story hour campaign uses a special breed of fang dragons. They've used bio-thaumaturgy to basically breed a lot of the intelligence out of them - so they're not very intelligent and thus not a threat to the nation, but can be sued as deadly battle-mounts. However, they're also usually more stunted than normal fang dragons).
I like dragons generally. They're fun to unleash on players

The one you don't see!
I like reds.
I have them perform controlled burns to clear lands to bring in herd animals (nothing like a swoop meal) and keep 'race' populations in a managable level. They control their area.

I thought the Fang Dragon from MoF was potentially the most deadly. No breath weapon but CON damage is crippling to PCs.
For stadard MM Dragons I would still go with the red. Even with PCs having easy access to fire resistances the magic and melee abilites of the red should still give it the edge.
