Separate Color Ratings for White and Black

I would like to be able to see separate color ratings for White and Black calculated on this site. It shouldn't be difficult, and could be placed in the Record section of the stats page, and maybe displayed when one views the rating on a game.  

I reckon I'm at least 1400 with White, but under 1300 with Black. If my rating were displayed it might look like this:

The reason I'm interested is lately I've been winning nearly all my White games in Bullet Chess, but struggling like heck with Black. It would be interesting to see how much of a discrepancy exists, and see how other players are with each color.  

Does anyone know of any analysis along these lines, perhaps for top Grandmasters. E.g. which player has the best black record, and the worst white, etc...

Wouldn't just looking at one color's results for one player give an invalid "rating" since for everyone else the rating is based on both colors?  I think if you did it, you'd have to rerate everybody that way.

Looking at your own won/loss records above (I assume they aren't totally made up-- except for the rating split.),  I think you can tell that your results split isn't as one sided as you had described. (winning nearly all as white and struggling like heck with black)

There is a lot that could be done with statistics and isn't being done at this point.  The white/black split would be interesting.

I personally would like to know what my record is in different opening systems.

Yes, overall my win/loss ratio with each color is very similar, it's just that in the past few weeks I've moved back to the simple board, and am starting to seriously kick ass with white, but not so much with black. Prior to this, my win/loss ratio was 52% for each colour. I estimate I'm about 70/100 with white, and 30/100 with black in this period, so my rating with each color would probably differ by this amount. 

I agree it would be good to also find one's rating with openings. I was reading somewhere there's stats on the most frequently employed openings by GMs. Would be good to find that agian!
