What is the cheapest car color to insure?

Is there a car color I should avoid? I was considering buying a red car, but I've heard those are more expensive to insure.

“The rumor that car color has a bearing on
car insurance
rates is, fortunately, no more than a myth.
Your vehicle’s model, make, and year are what will influence the cost of your insurance. Since car color isn’t a
question insurance companies ask
, it can’t influence your rate.
Feel free to opt for a
red car
without worrying about the impact on your rates.
If you worry you might overpay for car insurance, then be sure to shop online and compare rates from multiple companies. If you’d like to leave the hard work of shopping to someone else, try using the
