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?

Dirt and rain spots show up less clearly on white cars than black or other dark colored cars, so they require less washing to look nice. This is probably a contributor, but there could also just be average preferences at work.

You see a lot of black Rolls Royces and other rich people cars because they just pay someone to wash it daily and/or whenever it’s needed, so they always look clean and sharp.
