Choosing a Car Color

Choosing a Car Color

It’s never an easy decision to make. When purchasing a new car, the car color is something you will very likely have to live with for at least several years. As such, it is important to choose a color that appeals to you. But the color of your car will affect your car experience in a number of different ways that you should consider. Here are a few points to think about:

Yellow, Red, Orange
Colors such as red and yellow will attract attention, including the attention of traffic cops. Bright red, orange and yellow are more visible on the road and don’t blend in as well as grey cars. Be wary of speeding or taking liberties with cars these colors.

Black
On the right car, black can look elegant and stylish. I knew a girl in New York who worked for Vogue magazine, and she told me that everyone in the office wore black to work everyday. Black always seems to be in style. The major downside with black as a car color though is the way it shows dust. Black cars are magnets for dirt. Be prepared to wash you car more frequently with black. In addition, black tends to absorbs heat, so your interior temperature will run higher than a white car.

Grey, Champagne, and Sand
Conversely, these colors will do a remarkable job of hiding dust and dirt. If you are lazy and wash your car infrequently, a grey car may be exactly what you need. The only problem is that grey is the most popular car color so it might make your vehicle look bland.

Certain vehicles look great in certain colors. For example, the mini-cooper looks fabulous in British racing green. Every car wears colors a little differently, the same way different people wear colors differently. When choosing your car color keep the practical issues in mind as well as the aesthetic ones.
