What is the Best Car Color?
June 27th 2008 08:53
One of the last times I was in the market for a car, the salesman asked what color I wanted. It was easier to tell him what color I did not want. "I don't want red," I told him. After we discussed other issues about the car, he said, "You can have any color you want, as long as it is red. That is what we have the most of."
No, I did not buy from him.
But, what color should you choose? Maybe your favorite color? Let's look at some stats about car colors.
Reuters New Agency says that the least safe colors for cars are black, brown and green. I don't know why for sure.
They also report that the neutral colors as far as safety goes are yellow, grey, blue and red. Again, I don't know why.
Optometrists tell us that red is the hardest color to see. Maybe that is one reason I don't want a red car. There are other reasons, however.
Car owners report that white is the easiest color to care for. Hard to believe that one, right? It is also the easiest color to see at night.
The University of Auckland, NZ, report that silver cars are 50 percent less likely to be involved in a serious injury crash than white cars.
It's your call, I guess, as to which color of car is best. I DON'T WANT RED!
