First..a color to avoid at all cost, green! Green is the color involved in most wrecks.. green tends to blend into the background of trees and such and the brain tends to delete it more or less.. I learned that from both experience and insurance claim statistics.. never buy a green car.. The color red attracting cops? mostly myth..
If you're going to repaint a car, truck or any other thing on wheels there's one color and only one.. WHITE! WHITE! & WHITE! No, it's not a racist thing.. White shows the fewest errors in the substrate..dents, scratches, dirt, etc.. Black in the least favorable because everything..every error shows..
I'm not wild about gray or silver because it blends in with the color of pavement for the most part. Check that out next time you're out and about.. Why the hell would anyone want a car the same color as the damned road?  Hilarious
If you want to be safe? Dayglo pink!  ThumbsUp That is a color..and it'll stick out like a sore thumb..

Out here in the Valley of the sun, the white cars sell off the lots a lot quicker than the black cars. But that has to do with deflecting/absorbing the summer heat.
