I heard that Bold Beige Metallia is gaining orders in Honda... Hindi ba DOM looks... Pwede bang pormahan din yun?

My personal choice would be "Habanero Red" why?? because malayo pa yung car kita na agad especially at night and with heavy rains, low visibility makikita mo agad or ma spot mo kahit malayo pa...

I avoid black colors why??? Based on accident records yung color black mahirap ma spot sa gabi lalo na kung malakas ang ulan, low visibility, no fog lamps, pag walang ilaw sa parking lot misan yung mga color black na sasakyan may mga dents, scratch caused by some drivers na walang backing-sensor...also black color is hard to maintain.....

Maybe you can provide a link to that "study" on accident records based on car color,... it's simply too easy to say things without proper basis.

Also, my personal car is black but ALL of it's accidents (3) since it was new happened during the day time and on the road.

If you want a color that is easy to maintain and hides dirt well, get silver or grey.

Alam ko sa studies ang prone sa accident is Red. Even you call any casa pinakamarami is Red. May nabasa ako sa Internet about that bakit prone sa accidnet ang Red.

Exactly...

And here is a study to justify that:

The link opens a table like the one below:

You can see that red color gets more accidents than black.

^^^ Sorry, but the other columns are gibberish to me. Where is it stated that the actual population of the cars of each color are considered?

For all we know, they probably have 500 white cars for every 100 silver cars on the streets. That would typically arrive to a conclusion that white cars are statistically more prone to accidents, not because of their color, but because of their greater number to start with.

EDIT: Here's another article about the subject, answering my question.

"US study shows red, white and blue safer"
