White was supposed to be the safest car color when it comes to vehicle depreciation, but it turns out that title goes to yellow! According to an iSeeCars’ analysis of over 6 million new and used car prices between 2017 and 2020, yellow cars only depreciated about 20.4% while white vehicles—the most popular car color for over ten years—lost over 38% of their value.
