In Great Britain there was actually some research done that suggested that the colour (they really like that spelling for some reason) of your car says something about your personality type. And accordingly, based on your personality type, your likeliness to be involved in an accident (in the United Kingdom at least). That research showed that black cars are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as cream-color cars.

Well, I just returned from my vacation in Europe and after spending 3 weeks travelling around Germany I can tell you there is a very high number of black cars there. Of all the cars that came wizzing by in the left lane of the Autobahn, most were black Audi's, BMW's and Mercedes.
By the way, all the cars I've ever owned have been either red, white or blue. Two of them have been red, white AND blue! It wasn't intentional, I just realized that after thinking about this poll.
