Car Colors

[Alexus]

I always thought that black was the favorite of car colors, but it seems to me that most of the newer model cars are silver. I was just wondering - when new models come out, how many different colors are usually available?

I actually don't like silver too much. It just seems too plain for me. I'm not sure how many colors there are for basic cars. I'd guess 10 or so. I love black cars. Unfortunately, I have a white one right now, but when I can, I'll get a black one probably.

Most of the time, it seems the basic colors are black, navy, white, silver, and red. Some also offer maroon, brown, and green, but they seem to be fewer, in my experience.

I think MaximumSpeed's list is pretty good. Brown seems to be a color that has really faded in popularity. I'm a little surprised green isn't more common, I think some cars look decent in green. Another color I see here and there is yellow. Personally I think this really depends on the car. I think some cars look great in silver, I can see why it's a popular color for those models.

I see a ton of white cars. They are all over the place. The sporty cars still seem to be red, which simply draws the eyes of the police to them.

Black, red, silver, white, and blue - that is the main colors that I see out there. I'm a fan of yellow and I don't usually see too many yellow cars on the lots.

It is true that most of the time, these are the basic colors. However, I tend to prefer black or navy and nothing close to silver. All the same, isn't it possible to get the colors customized?

Mine is actually a silver gray mix and it looks just fine, but I do hear you on it. Maybe its the "new black" as far as car makers are thinking when they are coming off the line.

I am not a huge fan of silver myself. The vehicle I have now is pewter, which they might as well say is gold. I would love a dark blue car, but it wasn't in the cards last time around.

I think brown is a nice color for a car. I wonder why they don't make too many? White is another that I see a lot of, but that's too plain for me.

Black is cool and I don't like silver either, but I think they choose silver, white and other light colors for safety reasons. The idea is that light colored cars are more "visible" to other drivers on the road than dark colored cars.

 

[kiensteve]

The black color is best in my option. :sick::heh:

 

[kentkars]

Many of the new car colors look really sharp these days. But, besides the basic color categories of the cars, I'm not sure if the car makers are making up new names for car colors or if they already exist and are taken from the fashion world?

 

[UGoGirl]

Many people will choose a white car because it is the most visible color on the road according to safety experts. (The only time I had one, I lived in a place where it SNOWED A LOT...!)

 

[Ares]

Haha that's funny UG. In that case, I think having a red or black car wouldn't help that much. On the road, the car would soon be covered by snow anyway.

I've definitely seen a decline in the champagne colored cars. I'm not a fan of them. I think that when a new car comes out they are initially basics- red, white, blue, silver, black. It depends on the car though because I have seen a ton of yellow and lime Bugs.

My mother got a BMW in this really nice creamy white color with camel interior. It looks really classy. I'm not a fan of white, but I like this new creamy white I've been seeing lately. Black with chrome trim is always hot not matter what you drive. Heck, even a minivan looks cool in black and chrome.

I am not a fan of black with chrome but I do agree that the creamy white color looks really nice. It looks classier than just plain white. White isn't my favorite color for a car but the creamy look makes it look 100% better.
