Hi Muriel,
The Brit decided that the best couple of colors is black on a white background.
However, a law had forbidden a white light at the back because it was reserved for front lights.
Lawyers said the law was also applicable to reflective white color of a licence plate.
The Brits kept the back on white for their front plate et changed to black on yellow for the rear one.
