What Are the Safest Car Colors?

As it turns out, your vehicle’s paint job plays a role in safety as well as style. White vehicles, for instance, typically have a lower chance of accidents than black cars – in all types of lighting and weather. Choosing an eye-catching yellow paint color makes you easier to spot on the road. Gold and orange colors, like Cyber Orange Metallic, stand out simply because they are rare.

When choosing an automotive color, consider this:

• Black cars can be more difficult to maintain, showing pollen, dirt and dust.
• Choosing black over white looks sleek and sporty but boosts your odds of accident involvement.
• Gray and silver paint colors are easier to maintain.
