I think yellow and orange stand out the most.

RED

From my own personal experience (not recently).

On another note, it would be awesome if the Reventon was actually designed with stealth technology in mind, and would be invisible to radar

they are working on a radar absorbing paint. biggest problem to disrupting radar waves is the angles on which they hit. the paint wont be able to do as much as the angles.

I don't think color really matters that much, more so if you have a tint

Any car that looks like a 16yr old would enjoy gets the cops attention. Especially if a 16 year old is driving.

I enjoy snopes usually, but that study they quoted is complete BS.

He chose St Petersburg Florida, and only studied 1000 citations... So therefore, because it happened, at that one location, for that small sample base, it must be fact.

How about this, get 50 random cities/towns spread throughout the USA and go through a year of their citations... blah

That is a sampling bias like I have never seen!

You don't need to have your car registered somewhere to get a ticket there. That is just dumb.

Come on down to FL and say that, where 99.99% of the cars on the road have "illegal tint" including the cops.

Silver is targeted because they know sexy ass motherfuckers like me drive TiAg

I guess it depends on what other car colors are around you. I was driving in my ocean blue a4 doing the same speed (65 limit but doing over 65) as the other cars with rather neutral color and I was the one pulled over by the chp.

I guess I was the colorful seal in the ocean and the shark likes a blue ocean.
