What is the relationship between car color and safety?

The traffic police department provided a statistical data. The results showed that the accident rates of green, blue, red, black, and gray colored cars were higher, while those of white, yellow, pink, and other color cars had a much lower chance of traffic accidents. .

Coincidentally, a car club has done a statistic. According to the rate of accidents and rankings of vehicles in various colors in 5158 traffic accidents, it can be seen that the lowest rate of accidents is white, followed by gray, blue, red, green, and black. .

The above results are similar to those published by some foreign research institutions. For example, the Australian automobile insurance company NRMA study shows that during the day, black car accidents are 12% more likely than white cars , and in the evening and early morning, this figure is as high as 47% . The security is basically arranged in the order of white> gray> blue> red> green> black.

In summary, white, yellow and other color cars are safer than black, green and other colors.

Why light-colored security is high?

The colors of black, green, and blue are relatively low in reflectivity of light, especially at night, and it is not so easy to notice on the road. The reflectivity of white, silver and pink to light or colored light makes the vehicles of these colors more conspicuous, thereby reducing the chance of accidents.

In addition to the main influencing factor of reflectivity, the safety of light-colored cars has a certain relationship with color brightness.

The lightness of white and yellow is relatively high, and the volume of objects in these colors will give viewers a greater sense of appearance. In other words, different colors will make the same size objects have different voluminous sensations. The light colors are large and the dark colors are small.

Traffic police explain the relationship between car color and accident

According to relevant persons in the traffic police department, in the day-to-day management work, there has always been a saying that the accident rate of dark-colored vehicles is higher than that of light-colored vehicles. The statistical analysis of big data has also been confirmed. However, he believes that the color of the car itself is not a direct cause of many accidents, but also adds a combination of factors such as the external environment and the driver’s vision . “For example, at night, with poor line-of-sight, black cars are not as easy as white cars. Obviously discovered that the probability of accidents will also increase." The source said that this conclusion, for traffic management, there is not much value in the evaluation, "but for the owner, it is a reminder , but safe driving mainly depends on strengthening its own standards."
