WHITE is the safest car colour in all driving conditions while black is the least safe, a study to be released today has found.
The Vehicle Colour Study shows there's a 12 per cent higher risk of being involved in a crash in a black car than a white one.
Grey and silver are next in line, with an 11 and 10 per cent higher crash risk.
The study also found that crashes were 7 per cent more likely to occur with blue, red and maroon cars than lighter colours such as cream, yellow and beige.
The study, conducted by the Monash University Accident Research Centre, examined crashes which involved death, injury or the towing of a vehicle between 1987 and 2004.
Centre senior researcher Stuart Newstead said yesterday: "Popular dark colours, greens, blues, blacks, blend in with the road.
"They are quite popular, people should think carefully about them."
