It shouldn't make any difference -- the "choice" of color does not affect the size of the data being downloaded.
I do agree that there could be a user perception issue, depending on how the delay in loading overlaid graphics, background images, etc affects the order of rendering. For example, if you had white text (as images) over a dark background image, and the text loaded first with the background loading last, you would see nothing (well, you'd probably see the antialiased edges in the text, but still) until the final background image loaded. If the colors were reversed, you would see the text images over the plain white background immediately. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
