What color are unmarked police cars?

Are most of them blue or black? I saw a maroon colored one the other day (or at least I thought it was a cop) but I didn't think they had that color.

If there were a standard color it wouldn't be very unmarked now would it ?

I know people who have been stopped by police driving mini-vans. There is no 'standard' for an unmarked police car.

They can be any car of any colour -- a lot of it depends on the Police Service and the purpose of the vehicle (traffic, detective, etc)

any colour as long as it has a cop in it and no markings

Any color they want them to be.

They are several different colors. The idea is that you are not supposed to know they are police cars.

Most of these answers are right. However, undercover vehicles, which you wouldn't recognize as a police car, is almost never going to conduct traffic stops. There is a difference between an undercover, and a slick top, which is a standard police vehicle, minus the lightbar. They are usually unmarked, with lights on the visor, dash, and in the grill.

It can be any color, or any type of vehicle. Watch out for that school bus that's been following you.

Traveling south on interstae 95 in NYC I passed by a radar trap. The police were in a mock-up yellow brand new taxi-cab

There is no particular color that is used...I've seen unmarked minivans, full-size vans and even Corvettes. The vehicle that the police use for our DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) car - I know, it's not an unmarked car but I think it's interesting anyway - has spinners on the rims.

I see a lot of white cars with city plates parked is 'Police Only' spaces near the local courthouse. That said, if you can tell by looking that is is a police car, it isn't really unmarked.

Formerly all highway patrol cars were black Fords when Broderick Crawford was on 1950s TV. Presently may be most any color, even policeman's PERSONAL BMW,hot rod, or whatever. Some small towns save money by allowing officers money payback for using their own "chase-mobiles".
Most likely would treat the car better if it was his/her own...
