What is the best color car for car insurance?

I'm buying a new car soon. I want to know if color will have an affect on my insurance rates. I have a policy with Progressive.

“Many factors go into determining
car insurance
rates, but rest assured that color isn’t one of them.
Your vehicle’s make, model, and year will determine your car insurance rates. If you get a newer vehicle, it will likely be more expensive to insure with
Progressive
because it has a higher
actual cash value
. It will cost an insurance company more to replace your vehicle than an older one. Insurance companies have to offset this cost by charging a higher premium.
If you’d like to see your insurance cost with a new car, you can get the VIN from the dealer. Progressive can use the VIN to quote you on adding the new car to your insurance. You can also use it to shop around with other companies.
If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use
