Black cars are more likely to crash than cars of any other colour, a survey suggests.
The Sun says a survey of 130,000 accident claims by insurers Churchill found black the most risky colour, with silver coming second.
Cream-coloured cars were the safest.
But the paper claims the problem is less to do with the colour than the personality of the driver choosing it.
Psychologist Donna Dawson said: "We think about colour all the time, from what we wear to how we feel.
"This emotional influence transfers to how we drive."
She claims people choosing black are aggressive and outsiders, with those choosing silver being cool and aloof.
Drivers choosing cream, on the other hand, are self-contained and in control.
