Eli5: why do white cars have a higher resale value?

Is it because colours fade? Would you really see two identical cars in a sales yard and the blue one is a grand cheaper than the white one next to it?

Safety, [most US cars are white](https://www.edmunds.com/most-popular-car-colors/), company cars even more so. White is the most visible day and night color, your car will be seen even in total darkness with total electrical failure and this can make be the difference between life or death in certain situations liek the 18 wheeler spotting and avoiding you. Red is the highest daytime visibility color and it acts on cops like the red flag at the corrida, hence more tickets.
