Abstract

In choosing a car, we consider car performance, design, price, and safety as the most important things without reference to accident occurrence probability. We first studied on the concepts of advancing color and receding color as well as relationships with car accidents. Consequently, advancing color causes less accidents since the color looks closer than it actually is. And receding color causes more accidents since the color looks farther than it actually is. And we classified car colors into seven ones such as black, white, blue, green, silver, red, and yellow. Each representative color includes its detailed colors corresponding to its domain. We also proposed accident occurrence probabilities ordered by each color. The descending order is blue, green, white, red, black, silver, and yellow. The rate of relationship with 74.64 % is high than that of disrelationship with 25.36 %.
