Did you know that the color of your car can influence the likelihood of being involved in an accident? A study reveals that cars in black, gray, and blue are more prone to accidents, especially at night, when they are harder to see by pedestrians and other drivers.

Black cars, in particular, are the most dangerous, as they stand out less in dark environments, making them a greater risk on the roads.

While darker colors are problematic, lighter colors like white and yellow offer better visibility, contributing to safety. Although white cars require more maintenance for cleaning, their ability to be easily identified on the road helps reduce the risk of accidents. Yellow is considered the safest color, though it is not very popular among drivers.

Although car colors influence safety, experts highlight that many other factors impact accidents, and the primary recommendation is to drive with caution, keeping the vehicle visible and avoiding reckless behavior on the road.
