So far, there is no accurate and authoritative conclusion between vehicle color and safety.
All the studies I'm aware of focus on crashes involving injuries and serious damage to the vehicle, i.e., safety, but not scratches or minor damage to the vehicle.
In 2002, Nardelli Clare's investigation based on 57,472 car accident data in Spain from 1993 to 1999 showed that light-colored cars (white or yellow) are less likely to be innocently involved in accidents, while black cars are most likely to be hit.
.
However, the difference between the two is very small, and the investigator himself pointed out that the survey method has limitations and is not entirely scientific and rigorous.
In 2003, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published the statistical results of Furness S et al. on 571 serious car accidents and 588 control groups in Auckland, New Zealand from 1998 to 1999. What color cars were involved in silver vehicles involved in serious accidents?
The most likely to cause a car accident!
The odds are low, twice as high for white, and twice as high for brown, black and green cars.
But investigators also realized that New Zealand doesn't snow, and its silvery white color is easier to spot.
In 2004, the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation concluded from the above two surveys and other factors that there was no scientific evidence to clearly prove which colors of cars are safer.
(There is psently no scientific evidence supporting the selection of one particular vehicle color as the unambiguous best choice for safety.) In 2007, the Monash University Accident Safety Research Center studied 855,258 serious car accidents in parts of Australia from 1987 to 2004.
It is believed that white cars are less likely to be involved in collisions.
During the day, the probability of a black car crashing is 12% higher than that of a white car, gray is 11% higher, silver is 10% higher, red and blue are 7% higher, and there is no significant difference between other colors and white.
In the early morning or evening, the accident rate of white cars is 47% higher than that of white cars, and that of silver cars is 15% higher.
At night, most colors of cars (including) are similar to white cars, only red and silver are higher (10% and 8% higher).
But there aren’t many places where it snows in Australia.
These studies have limitations, such as region, accident determination and recording methods, etc. Dark and silver cars are more likely to become commercial, official, and rental vehicles, and their driving habits are different from those of other colors of personal and family vehicles.
There are also conflicting findings, including whether silver or white is safer.
There are also studies showing that pink is the safest color. I personally believe this 100%. How dare you mess with such a unique color?
In short, without more authoritative research, the conclusion cannot yet be drawn.
Just referring to the existing research, it seems that the probability of being hit by a white and silver car may be smaller, and maybe perhaps slightly higher by a dark-black car.
