Cops and Red Cars and Trucks.?

Most of us know that cops are always attracted to red cars when they are out to meet their monthly quota for traffic tickets. My question is would cops pull over somebody for driving an orange or a yellow car? What's your opinion on the topic.

    According to my psychology class, Yellow cars are statistically pulled over more often than any other color. It's a common misconception that red is a cops favorite color. It has to do with the way the eye senses color and how the brain perceives it. Highway workers have shifted from wearing bright orange to a yellow/green because of this same phenomenon. The human eye is inherently more attracted to vibrant yellow than any other color.

    saw this on 20/20 one time and its a myth about red cars getting pulled over more. You'll get pulled over in any color car if you are doing something wrong like speeding, they don't care what color car you have, money is money and pigs are always looking to get it.

    Yellow, no, cause when I think yellow I think taxi's, Jeep's. VW Beetles, and Xterras.

    Orange yes because it is becoming popular with the import/tuning crowd.
