It probably has a lot less to do with psychology than with optimal optical (!) effect. If you can see it with greater ease, you can avoid a collision with greater ease. It may "blend in" with the road during the daytime, but during the daytime anyone can see a silver car on the road to begin with; during the night time, however, the road's more akin to looking black in the distance. A silver car about to turn at an intersection at a distance to yourself... yeah, may end up beating out any other color as far as visibility goes. Ask James Dean what color the light pole was.
As far as YOU being a safer driver while in a silver car, no, I don't think that has anything to do with it.
