The Impact of Car Color on Safety and Theft
The color of a car significantly influences both its perceived safety and likelihood of being stolen. White is the most popular car color because it stays cooler and requires less maintenance. Bright colors like yellow, or unusual colors such as orange or green, are associated with lower theft rates since thieves prefer common colors that are easier to sell. Additionally, although some believe light-colored cars are safer due to visibility, research indicates that color has minimal effect on crash rates, particularly at night.
