The common sense answer to this color vs percent of accidents is that
there are more red cars on the road then there are yellow cars.
Just look around. This was the case about 10 years ago.
Wanna bet this year that same survey shows beige jelly bean cars
involved in the most accidents? Or maybe green minivans!
A few years back it was silver car that replaced the red cars, look back
to the late 80s/early 90s. I think Honda only offered silver.
Drive around and just count how many of one color you see.
Camaflouge colored cars are invovled in the least accidents. How can
that be, if they are camaflouge you should not see them right? But how
many are painted that color. ;)
