I know the first cars made were Black. When did cars start coming out in colors and what were the first colors?

I'm trying to identify a car emblem which has a buffalo on shield type medallion.

This medallion was used on the Kaiser in production from 1946 - 1955 by Kaiser Frazier Corp.  Two variations were used and the buffalo was also available as a hood ornament.

Ford Model "T" production started in 1908.  Maroon, white, gray, etc. were originally offered.  Then from 1914 to 1925 no other colors were offered except black and a painted black radiator shell replaced the brass type in 1917.  Other independent manufacturers offered colors -- the most popular was black and white.
