Each colour is made up of light waves.
Different colours produce different frequencies of light waves.
The higher the frequency, the more waves of light the car has to push through to go forward.
Less frequency = less mass of light waves to push through = faster car.

Also

The amount of energy in a given light wave is proportionally related to its frequency, thus a high frequency light wave has a higher energy than that of a low frequency light wave.
This being true, it takes more energy to thrust a high energy/frequency colour car forward.

Therefore

Low frequency/energy colours win

The chart below shows that red has the lowest frequency

White is not a colour, it is a mixture of all colours, so actually carries all of the above frequencies in one!! :shock:

This makes white the heaviest and slowest colour of all. :lol:

with this logic you should go get a job with NASA or BOAC :lol:
the billions they spend on research and devolpment and yet 99% of all aircraft are white apart from the silver ones and rockets oh white or silver :lol: the money you could save them :lol: take along your your made up spectrum chart and just ask for a 1% stake in their annual saving per year :lol: :lol:
i forgot the worlds fastest jet the Lockheed Blackbird :P
i like your thinking though :clap:

Red is the fastest colour as proved by science
and as pointed out it is the fastest to fade which means it gets tcut a lot meaning less paint thus less weight
so in actual fact milano pink ludes are the fastest of all :lol:
1996-2000 1993 EG9 Blue Civic 1.6 Vti - Traded in against the BB4
2000-2019 1994 2WS BB4 Milano Red JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD

2015 on > 1991 4WS BB1 Phantom Pearl Grey JDM Prelude Si VTEC LSD
2021 ON > 1998 2WS BB6 White Pearl JDM Prelude Si VTEC

statiscally your more likely to be involved in an accident in a silver car. the idea of red the fastest comes from farrari :D personally i prefer red as it polishes great. but as for which is fastest every one knows red is fastest simply because everyone says so, there for its true.
nothing actually has a colour untill light is reflected off it, the coulour would depend on which light waves (band width) are not absorbed by the object :ugeek:
