Mine is 'champagne'.
according to a recent Daily Planet TV story on car safety figures by colour,
the most visible colour is Safety Yellow (that lime yellow on most modern Fire Engines)
folks used to think Red was the most visible (hence old Fire Trucks), but studies show it isn't
(full disclosure: I used to have a Safety Yellow MGB)
anecdotally, (as far as the factory production choice for which colour...)
Black is the least visible, esp at night, (and usually best bodywork - shows dings)
White is the next most visible, except snow (usually worst bodywork - hides dings)
The Canadian Automobile Association ranked the favourite car colours of drivers, as part of its 2000 Vehicle Ownership Survey. It also rated colours on their rates of collision.
Yellow cars had the highest rate of collisions, followed by black, purple, blue, silver, red, grey, green, burgundy, beige and white.
The car colour with the lowest rate of collisions? Gold.

now it should also be noted that most owners of gold cars are a bit silver themselves
most owners of red cars are a bit raw and overtestosteroned themselves.
accident figures (and tickets) reflect this.
young male driver in red car much more likely to get smokey's attention. ditto the black one.
Red cars get more ticketsColor Matters
