Why are car number plates white at the front and yellow at the back in the uk.?

Reflective number plates were introduced to the UK in the late 60's early 70's The reasoning behind the white/yellow colouring is so that you could tell which way a vehicle was facing, in poorly lit areas. White, it was coming towards you, yellow it was facing away from you.
