I read somewhere recently that the color that is hardest to see in bad
conditions is silver/grey. Seems to me that the article also said this color
car was involved in more U.S. accidents than any other. Naturally my XJ-6 is
silver gray.

I do think that BRG looks great when it's shiny and clean at a show. But
it must be one of the most dangerous colors for visibility. I think it
would just blend into the scenery -- which might be fine when you're trying
to get away from a cop, but very bad when it's rainy or foggy on a narrow
road. A case of unintentional camouflage. Do statistics show that BRG
cars are involved in more accidents than brightly colored ones like white
or yellow? I would not be surprised.
