Red shades may tend to blend with stop signs or brake lights, and may look vibrant on sunny days, but not so much when the sun is down. While a car’s safety rating does not take color into consideration, the vehicle color that tests the lowest on the safety scale is black, which is harder to spot at night followed by dark blue, also difficult to spot in the evening, along with gray, sliver, and sometimes, red. Other safer colors include gold, cream, beige, and off-white.
Orange weighs in as safe, partly because not many carmakers use this color, so its “uniqueness” value makes it stand out. Yellow cars are easy to spot, which is why this has been the preferred color for taxi drivers. Which other colors are thought to be more safe? Yellow is first in line after white for vehicle safety. In fact, the study showed there is a 12 percent less chance of accident involvement in a white car than a black one. In all types of weather and lighting, the visibility of a white vehicle rates much higher, particularly at night. MUARC’s determination is that white is the safest vehicle color. Working with data from the most recent study by the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC) on this topic, the Kelley Blue Book’s newest report suggests that safer colors are the ones that stand out more on the road, in all weather conditions and road conditions. But did you know the color of your car may matter when it comes to safe driving? Some colors are considered safer than others.
