Nice job.
However... My dad, a retired attorney, told my siblings and I to never buy a vehicle of a color that blends in with the road as he has had litigants in bad accidents because the defendant didn't see the vehicle.

Barn door already open; looks good!
I have a grey yaris. About a year ago, i bought some reflective white tape and put some on all sides of the vehicle; in addition to the issue mentioned above, my '07 from the side is poorly illuminated.

Good looking Camry.
I have also heard this regarding vehicle color.
Keeping it sparkling clean should help a bit though. In winter I have almost missed seeing a dirty white cargo van doing a shoulder check before merging as it did blend into the background snow and trees.
Were you on thirdgen.org back in the day?
I did visit it, but I was not a member…….maybe I should!
Besides grey, what other colors fit this criteria?
This is a interesting thought ...
I can say for sure... On Rte 5 going out towards and through Charles City county I have found certain color vehicles are hard to see on that 2 lane road.
And with a LONG straightaway 2.8 miles long... That really is an issue there. Plus numerous other straight passing zones.
My car is silver colored. So it's not much better than grey colored.
I turn my headlights on Rte 5 now....
I don't have daytime running lights. So headlights it is. It safer for me... And those going the opposite way.
And there's been some BAD wrecks on that long straightaway on Rte 5. Trees burnt and bark completely taken off trees which means it was a very, very hard hit. I hate to say this but I have seen many, many times trees with debarked from a vehicle hit = someone died there.
