Safest Color For Mazda3?

Yeah, define "safe". I just read a highway safety report, not bias to any car, and they said the safest color is gray.

safest for any car is spicy orange (silly)





but seriously probably grey, silver, or white since they blend in with all the other cars in the street.

    1. Impenetrable by light; neither transparent nor translucent.
    2. Not reflecting light; having no luster: an opaque finish.

Yup, you're basically a moving traffic phone. If someone hits you, they'd be hard pressed to say they didn't see you coming...
 
White

It has been proven ( I have the article somewhere) that white is the safest color because of its perceptability.
It is safer than red, orange, or yellow. Mercedes did a study on this several years back.
The least (hardest to see) safe is black. Grays and silvers are not much better than black. Did you ever wonder why the military paints its fighter jets and battleships gray?

I say again: Define "safe."

Safe from accidents?
Safe from getting tickets?
Safe from getting stolen?

Your question is open to too much interpretation.
 
I don't know that there is any "safe" color in any form. Yeah, some colors stand out more which helps for visibility but if a cop tags you speeding I don't think it matters what color you have. I saw a titanium 3 sedan pulled over today, but they didn't mark me specifically b/c I have a strato blue or anything like that.

Accidents, white is more easily seen by other motorists.
