We know a fair bit about it and we're learning more quite rapidly.

Not as much as i would want to for my assignment.

What's lacking that you need in your assignment?
It's probably not necessary, for a school assignment, to know more than the cutting edge of research. Unless you are in a very advanced class.

No but it still sucks that we don't know so much.

I think it'd be kind of funny if dark matter was white. Oh man, I'd laugh for seconds..

dark matter doesn't interact with EM stuff, so it will not have any color.
Do we know that it is separate from the universe we can "see"?
Love

No just that it's probably invisible.

We're fairly certain it's not something that interacts with light or charged particles, it at least interacts with gravity and potentially interacts with other forces.
There's already particles we know of that begave like this (neutrinos)
First, I guess your "percent" relates to 100% beeing a flat Universe with zero energy.
This is only a hypothesis by Guth, not a hard fact. A good hypothesis, but we know so little in that field that I agree with Hawkings who said something like: "10 years ago you had 1%, now you have 3% and are talking about 10%, better go out and search again"
