Apparently red cars are involved in fewer accidents. Having said that, the new style Passats look awful in red, dunno why.
Like to see the Stats on that. worked out proportional to the amount of red% versus total versus % in accidents?
Saw a white Panda tonight -that looks nice in white.
So to summarise, cheeky small cars and supercars look great in zany colours whereas average/medium shopping hatch cars suit standard colours better.

You gotta admit, white or red have to be better for visibility.
What woudl you wear on your bike? They don't make hi-viz vests in dark grey, do they?

The new BMW M3 V8 is available in white and it looks stunning - and I'd love one. I'll have to stick with my "boring silver" 330Ci until I win the lottery though

*admittably Im a bit ropey-looking.

Not usually a fan of White cars, but the new VW Scirocco looks superb in White. Though the lime green one does rather float my boat too...

I need to cleanse my imagination of horrid white cars

White- missed the boat by two years. Now over done and will start to become cheaper and tackier over the next year.
If you've got a white car- Nice in fashion. Stylish etc. If you bought it 3yrs ago- well done, nicely ahead of the game, should sell well.
But to buy a white car now, then sell in 3 yrs...not easy.
New Audi cataglogue promoting red (metallic) as new colour- sounds risky but makes sense. I rembember loads of white cars in the 80s (my D-reg 309 was white) but red was the colour of early 90s.Black, Grey, Silver- Yawn. But most sensible financially. Will always sell easily.

Car colour trends are massively dictated, albeit subconciously by the economic climate....
White, silver etc = bad times
Red = good timesHopefully then red will have the best re-sale value in 3 years.

Trawling up behind someone on the motorway in my white Focus estate seems to have a mysterious 'is that a police car?' effect on people
(I didn't choose the colour, it was a 2/h car at the right price. But it looks good IMO)

trouble is talkemada, although cars in the seventies were available in those colours, people actually bought "prosthetic limb" cream, and "diarrhea" brown.lol - I think the term is "hearing aid beige"

back in the day i had a white calibra which was IMO is/was the best colour for that car (the vauxhall/opel touring cars of the time were white) and despite being a vauxhall and therefore having pretty poor factory paint, it was very easy to keep clean as being white it just needed a quick wipe down and air dry and it was fine. contrast with that a more recent black audi tt with a far superior paint finish but looked horrible unless it had just been washed dried polished and waxed - far too much effort for a car!!

No no; hearing aid beige is slightly darker than prosthetic limb cream!

my first 3 cars were white, but weren't exactly racy: Renault 5 mk1, Renault 5 mk2, Renault 19 (post facelift)
Next one was red - an Alfa 146.
Then a silver Alfa 156
then a black BMW 320d Touring
and now a black Saab 9-3 Sportwagon.So clearly I don't GAS what anybody thinks

I had a white Ford Orion once, had a lot of trouble selling it, to be fair I think the colour was irrelevant.

I had a championship White Integra Type-r. Fabulous car, back seats went down and bike dropped straight in - oh and when it came on cam at 5700 rpm it howled like a banshee. Looked great in White, pretty average in red or black
