What color car has a high chance of getting into a car accident?
So far, there is no absolute definitive conclusion between vehicle color and safety.
All the studies I'm aware of have focused on crashes with injuries and serious injuries to vehicles, i.e. safety is considered, and scratches or minor damage to the vehicle are not considered.

A 2002 Nadley Claret survey based on data from 57,472 crashes in Spain from 1993 to 1999 showed that light-colored cars (white or yellow) were less likely to be innocently involved in accidents, while black cars were the most likely to be hit. However, the difference between the two is small, and the investigators themselves have pointed out that the survey method is limited and not absolutely scientifically rigorous.

In 2003, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) published the Furness M. S et al. showed that 571 serious car accidents and 588 control groups in Auckland, New Zealand, in 1998-1999, silver vehicles had the lowest chance of being involved in serious accidents, with white vehicles twice as high and brown, black and green vehicles twice as high. But investigators also recognise that New Zealand doesn't snow and is easier to identify as silvery-white.
In 2004, the American Automobile Association (AAA) Foundation summarized these two surveys and other factors and concluded that there was no scientific evidence to definitively prove what color car was safer. （There is presently no scientific evidence supporting the selection of one particular vehicle color as the unambiguous best choice for safety.）
In 2007, Monash University's Centre for Accident Safety Research looked at 855258 serious crashes in parts of Australia between 1987 and 2004 and concluded that white cars had the lowest chance of crashing. During the day, black cars are 12% more likely to collide than white cars, 11% higher for gray, 10% higher for silver, 7% higher for red and blue, and there is no noticeable difference between other colors and white. In the early morning or late afternoon, black cars are 47% more involved in accidents than white cars, and silver cars are 15% more likely to be involved. At night, most of the colors of cars (including) are similar to white cars, only red and silver are higher (10% and 8% higher). However, there are not many snowy places in Australia.

These studies have limitations, such as geography, the way accident records are recorded, etc., dark and silver cars are more likely to become commercial, business, rental vehicles, driving habits are different from other colors of personal and family vehicles. These findings also have conflicting results, such as which is safer, silver or white. There are also studies that show that pink is the safest color, this I personally believe 100%, so a color color, are you embarrassed to bump?

In short, there is no more authoritative study, and it is not yet possible to close the coffin. Looking only at the existing research, it seems that the chances of a white silver car being hit may be smaller, and the black dark car may be slightly more probably. Even if there is a difference in the accident rate of vehicles of different colors, it is very small, much lower than other factors - drivers who are prone to accidents are estimated to be easily hit by pink cars.

Instead of struggling with the safety of colors when buying a car, consider the safety of your driving habits when driving. According to my observations, people who do not follow the rules are easy to get out of the basket when walking, and black means that the pot is not carried.
