If it's a dark silver then yes it can be near invisible. I was doing a right turn ( UK ) once at a crossroads and didn't notice the dark metallic grey Ford Granada coming the other way until I had entered the junction. I stopped but the other guy was going rather fast and didn't seem to be interested in avoiding me ( although there was room to pass without even stopping ). Embarassing. I wouldn't want to buy a car that colour myself even though I do think that Platana is a rather nice colour. Graham
