Does Car Color Actually Affect Crash Risk?

While many people associate red cars with aggressive driving, research suggests that darker-colored vehicles may actually pose a greater crash risk because they are harder for other drivers to see. Traffic safety studies have consistently found that black vehicles are among the most dangerous colors on the road, particularly in low-light or poor weather conditions where they offer less visual contrast.

White vehicles are generally considered the safest because they remain highly visible in most driving conditions. By comparison, black cars can blend into roads, shadows, and nighttime surroundings, increasing crash risk by roughly 12% compared to white vehicles. Gray and silver vehicles may also become less noticeable against asphalt, cloudy skies, and urban environments.

Red and blue vehicles’ visibility on the road actually works in their favor; they have just a seven percent higher crash risk than white cars.
