No, marking the car as a different color on the citation will not lead to a dismissal.

I'm not sure I agree with the other attorney. You should argue that without the VIN and the wrong color car (submit a copy of the registration and proof of the color) that the ticket is defective. If its not dismssed, you may at least get a reducation in the fine.
