Abstract:

The effect of vehicle color on crash involvement has been an interesting topic for several decades; however, the effect of vehicle color on its visibility to drivers has not been studied in detail, especially at rural intersections. There has been some speculation that the combination of vehicle color and background environment can cause a camouflage effect on a vehicle’s visibility for drivers stopped at an intersection.
