Silver is in fact the the smartest color on the road. There was a rather comprehensive study conducted at a university in New Zealand which examined car color in relation to accident frequency, and silver cars are the least likely to be involved in an accident...and by a significant margin. The comprehensive scientific study also accounted for variables such as age of driver, sex, educational level, ethnicity, alcohol consumption (in previous six hours), use of recreational drugs, seat-belt use, average time spent driving each week, vehicle speed, vehicle age, engine size, registration, warrant of fitness and vehicle insurance, driving licence status, road type, weather, and ambient light conditions (day, night, twilight). Here's a link to the article, and its a rather intersting doccument to read very closely several times.

Outside of pragmatic concerns outlined above, German race cars are historically silver. If you are any sort of German car fan, you should also understand and be familiar with the "Sliver Arrows" history.

You'll catch me in a silver German car every time. Its never out of style.
