Unanimously white so far and I (obviously) agree. Sorin, Lingering Souls, Thalia, Increasing Devotion, Gather the Townfolk, Faith's Shield, Drogskol Reaver, Drogskol Captain and Vault of the Archangel...
It's ironic, really. The bad guys are winning, while white (and green, I suppose) get the best support.
Let's break it down... obviously your idea of "playable" or "good" will differ from mine. Multicolor cards, the utility lands and Flashback costs are included in all the colors involved. W Nine goodies, including the planeswalker. U Eight goodies, some overlap with white. B Eight goodies, some overlap with white. R Six goodies, some overlap with green. G Eight or nine goodies.
As you can see, even the blue and black cards that are "good" are also somewhat associated with white. Green is the runner up in my humble opinion.
Red and green got the worst of it, I would say. RDW seriously got like two playable cards, maybe three. Green got some stompy guys and a few good weenies but not much that works well. I'd say black and white got the best of it...
Dunno how anyone voted Blue, as it arguably doesn't have any constructed viable cards at all. Maybe thought scour, but its already outclassed by ponder anyway. Distortion Strike barely saw marginal play, and artful dodge isn't exactly better, and there aren't any combo critters for it like kiln fiend & surrakar did in RotE.
Other than that, the next best card is what, divination? Lol

Psst - think creature enchantment + Hexproof for starters.

It is not clear from the OP that he is talking about constructed formats. From a Limited perspective blue is quite good, possibly the best color.
White got a lot of good stuff in DKA, no questions, but I think as far as "gets the most", out of DKA is black. Black is pretty underplayed and under represented in standard, and the push with BW tokens, as well as MBA/zombies/etc,,, is why black gets my vote for getting the biggest boost from DKA.
Blue/white decks look sick/ knowing there will be a B/W Tokens black did get like 4 cards i wanna play with/ red got nothing good at all/ green got like 3/4 goodes //
i will be making 3 decks/
Zombies/(and)/Green Beats with a wolf run/(and) / a test life gain with talsman/tailsiman/ and timely reinforsmant
I voted white because, come on... Than black because of slip and sorin. than was about to pick blue, before I realized it was the spirit lord, and that was white too, and other than that, blue got nothing.
Agreed.
Major disappointment for my favorite color.
I'm guessing any votes for Blue were due to Spirits like Drogskol Captain/Reaver and Dungeon Geists, or the awesome Havengul Lich, which is more Black than Blue.

White and x/W got the goodies. Most of what people think of as so good for Black or Blue really only works with White.
However, Green and Black both got some potential Mono-Aggro love squeezins. Zombies are almost viable.
Blue got Thought Scour and Geralf's Mindcrusher for mill and I like Dungeon Geists over Bloodline Keeper for U/B Draw Go decks because of the control.
Red got a draw card and a slap in the face.
Also, everything good for Flashback, Snapcaster Mage, and Undying got poked in the eye by a 1 mana artifact which does nothing at all to Moorland Haunt (though it does make Lingering Souls a little less tasty), which undercuts some of the nicest stuff for the other colors.

It's hard to say. The set really does feel weak when I think about the cards for constructed purposes. But to me it seems like black. Another star 1 mana removal, 2 excellent zombies, and sorin. Seems like it got the most for edh as well, but that is highly subjective.

Honorable mention would be white.

I'd say
1. Black
2. White
3. Green
4. Red
5. Blue
