When your headlights pick up a parked car. the colour of the reflectors and number plate tell you which way it is facing,

If it is parked legally, so is facing the right way, it is then easier for you to know which side to pass it in the dark

Similarly when seeing moving vehicles anything white, be it lights or number plate, must be on a vehicle coming towards you.
