It ISN'T visible!
My first MGB was BRG with black interior. I was hit 24 times in 2 years.
Once while parked in front of a store & a guy backed right into the nose of
the B. Said, he "didn't see it." Think about it - blacktop roads, green
foliage, the car disappears.

I was more interested in why the BRG might be an issue!! :)
RHD can be an issue when you are trying to get out of a roadside parking
spot with a car behind you and some left hand turns at intersections. If
there is a left hand turn lane in both directions, a car in the oncoming
lane cuts your view of oncoming traffic.
