Yeah glad to see that Yellow is not popular meaning that it is rare to see them on the road...plus that means they are the fastest cars (faster than red) because people are afriad to buy the fastest car colour

My favorite has always been black because it conveys elegance and when its clean, polished and waxed it looks stunning but the down side is the slightest amount of dirt stands out big time. I also liked my Teal Green Honda because it looked sharp and was an unusually color. But my favorite for the time being is my Pastel Yellow Porsche mostly because it is unique as it was only offered for two years, 98 & 99.
I never cared for sliver, white or grey. I perceived silver and grey as old people colors and white was for cop cars.

Interesting!

I'm driving a Silver Cab for most of the reasons that I just read. It was actually my 5th or 6th color choice emotionally but first for practicality. My reasons were:

Looks clean even when dirty

Hides flaws like chips and swirls well

Low for attention factor

High for defining body design

High for resale

Has always been the color of German race cars

Most likely won't tire of it

Don't love it or hate it

it works

I've always loved silver/grey cars. I guess it goes back to the DB-7 in Goldfinger. I guess I'm just a cold guy!
