What can you say about your car color?

[dbuzz]

Well mostly people will say .."hey i like the color of my car..its me dude".

Some will really argue that the color of their car is the best ever.

but some will say "ahh its a mistake" or "it's not really my choice" or "its not me"

rumors are:
red = takaw accident and takaw pansin.
black = para sa mga bigatin(oppss bigatin may ari nya) but takaw din sa accident kasi di gaano nagre reflect ng light.
ang lastly, but i don't think na rumors pa rin kasi factual ito, black or any other dark colored cars are super init pag nabilad sa init mas mainit kaysa other light colored cars.
white = mahirap linisin but tipid sa aircon (it minimizes the absorbtion of heat)

I don't know if there's a statistic about these.

There are statistics re car colors and the incidence of accidents among them, just try to Google it.

However, I don't let these statistics or stereotypes about colors influence my color choices for a particular vehicle. Ako, kung ano yung bagay na kulay sa isang model ng auto para sa 'kin, yun ang kukunin ko. Isa pa, I believe nasa nagmamaneho yan kung gano kadalas ka mabangga.;)

Mahilig talaga ako sa red pag sa sedan that's why Habanero Red ang kinuha ko for my FD. The only disadvantage I see is that mahirap siyang hanapan ng touch-up paint kasi di nila makuha yung exact shade nung color.

Undeniably, I don't like the color of my car. I prefer the monotone of either white or black. As I am after of the mods and aftermarket 'borloloy' that I'll gonna do to my future car.

When I purchase my car(2nd hand), the availability of the latest model 06 was the one i chosen and nothing more. My GF settled for it coz she said it is formal and fit for a medium sedan. So we finalize to get that car. I don't have much regrets since I got the latest model and that color doesn't bother me after all.

i like black...mas na a-ppreciate ko kasi paglilinis ko pag makikita mo kung gano kakintab ang black.

Hmmm. Throughout my life, the only car colors I've had are beige (1), silver gray (2), midnight blue (1), red(1), green (1), and gold (4).Yung beige, I liked kasi visible siya pero cool at hindi dumihin. It's rare that a color like that is available nowadays though. Yung silver gray, OK din pero kung maitim ang shade, hindi masyado visible (i.e., binangga ako). Yung blue at green, mainit sa loob, bukod pa sa hindi masyadong visible (pero hindi ako binangga). Yung red, OK naman siya very visible, moderate temperature, kaya lang very visible din ang dumi (depende sa tingkad).The gold is like the beige -- wala akong makitang disadvantage -- kaya I've had 4!! Gold is the new beige! ahahaha.

White is a headturner. Pero it's not just the ride, it's the rider hahahaha. Mas madaling makita white, pag pinupunasan ko nga parang ayoko na umakyat gusto ko na lang punasan palagi hehehehe

Color Popularity Survey (Sept 22, 2007)
The numbers reflect the percentage of vehicles manufactured during the 2006 model year in North America, as compiled by DuPont.

1. Silver 19%
2. White 16%
3. Gray 13%
4. Black 13%
5. Blue 11%
6. Red 11%
7. Light Brown 7%
8. Green 4%
9. White Pearl 3%
10. Yellow/Gold 3%

Silver - "When the light hits it and refracts, it shows off the vehicle's architectural form beautifully."
The color has other advantages, too: It hides dirt, it's an enduring favorite and it's easier to resell than other colors. (In the United Kingdom, many police agencies have switched from white to silver, because the silver cars fetch a higher resale price -- up to 10 percent higher than white cars -- after they've been pulled from the fleet.
