Studies show that red and black are popular colors among "agressive" drivers (who tend to speed and, logically, get more tickets).

Red cars pretty much look black at night (what's the percentage of tickets given after dark?).

Three retired cops, whose dogs have also retired from the hunt, that I've asked about this over the years chuckled (I always get the chills when a cop, retired or not, starts chuckling) and said it doesn't matter what color, If you get a cop's attention and are speeding, you get ticketed.

Studies show that a preponderance of law enforcement officers are genetically disposed to becoming VERY irritated wnen seeing the colors red and black in motion at ANY speed.

A surprisingly high percentage of law enforcement officers are known to be prone to anaphylactic shock and therefore exhibit a propensity to avoid pulling over yellow cars due to their "bee-like" color unless they are traveling WELL over the posted speed limit (ask me how I know this - I'll tell you I don't).
