Many people here say that people don't want to be targeted by cops but I don't feel like cops target colored cars specifically. At least where I live I feel like they target stereotypical vehicles, which would mean a combination of brand and model, color, tinted windows, any visible modding etc., and also the body style of the car. For example a gray roadster will have a higher chance to be targeted by the police than a yellow minivan. A modded car will always be stopped more than average.
So the way to not get targeted is to get a car that screams "mother/father of two in an unhappy marriage". Or go to the other extream and get whatever the mafia drives if you have the money. I have never seen a G-class Mercedes stopped by the police.
The target here is vans, black BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and then the grey of the same 3 brands, it became an absolute stereotype
