Oh definitely. Red and yellow cars can cause severe hikes in insurance costs.
The best colours to help avoid insurance hikes are silver and low profile "earth tone" colours, such as light greens, blues, tans. They're not as noticeable and tend to get less police attention than arrest-me-red and ticket-me-yellow colours.

Wonderful colours. Put them together and you have the old colour scheme for OPP cruisers. Put either one of them together with dark tint windows in a newer Impala and you can induce paranoia in just about everything else on the road.

White is easy to keep clean, but not so good in winter snow conditions.
Black looks sharp, especially if you also either remove or blacken your chrome trim elements. But black will doom you to perpetually washing. It will show every trace of dirt, dust or fingerprints, and it will also accentuate every little ripple, ding, or mediocre body work done on your car.

Im asking about the insurance rate....
so does red makes the car go faster, green makes the car slower. yellow makes the car undriveable and blue adds an extra protection for your car
Isnt that stupid??? a red car has higher insurance rate than a green one...
