I am curious if any of these studies attempt to adjust for all the white fleet vehicles. .... white fleet vehicles probably get driven more miles than many people's personal cars, and you have a disproportionate amount of white vehicles on the road that aren't getting into accidents.

No data sources or study details were noted, only the relative risk result summary.
Considering that the results cite only accidents and car color vs the total car color percentage of the population, I highly doubt they would go to that trouble, and it would be just that. Trouble.

Fleet cars can be had through a variety of means and ownership, so even identifying a "fleet vehicle" involved in accident for a study could be problematic.
One would need to make a number of assumptions in order to test that hypothesis.
Are fleet vehicles always or often white?
Are fleet drivers better or worse than the average population?

Getting answers to seemingly simple questions can often be very complicated, or impractical when there is no data collection available.

All that said, it's a possibility that white fleet vehicles influence the result.

Fleet vehicles comprise about 20% of new car sales, but these include rental companies, who do not buy only white vehicles, and may not have drivers with abilities or controls significantly different than other car drivers. While fleet numbers are identified at the point of sale, they may not be identified as part of accident statistics.

As far how fleet operators go, the robots say that fleet drivers actually have more accidents..
"Fleet vehicles tend to have a higher accident rate, with annual accident rates for commercial fleets averaging 20% or higher. This is largely due to fleet drivers covering significantly more miles than average drivers, increasing their exposure to accidents."

No sources cited.

Web search shows approximately 40% of all Mercedes vehicles sold worldwide were silver in the decade of the 1980s. Not light and dark, but Mercedes silver.

Well, yeah because silver is their “racing color” just like red is Ferrari’s. Orange is McLaren’s. Etc.

Oh no, so Ford is baby blue! Now look what we’ve done.

(with orange trim pieces like the early Mavs).

I do think it's worth noting that I really appreciate how willing Ford has been to do 2-3 fun colors per year, even when I don't love their specific choices. Would it be cool if they stuck around? Sure, and if one of these colors was a huge hit, it probably would!

But the fact that they're willing to inject at least *some* interesting shades on the roads is way more than most models get these days.

Is Ford thinking:
Small truck = retro truck = retro colors?

"All these" pastels? I'm thinking back through every color since the Maverick was introduced and I'm struggling to remember another pastel offering. Which colors, specifically, were you thinking of?

all these pastel colors

And I just want some punctuation. But, like the man sang, you can't always get what you want.

Except for money and paint/wrap then your world of color is yours (it’s a joke… keep your money!).
