In Great Britain there was actually some study done that suggested that the color of your car says something about your personality type. And accordingly, based on your personality type, your likeliness to be involved in an accident (in the UK at least). That research showed that black cars are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as cream-color cars. Whether this is true in the United States is unclear.
- Black. Black cars denote an aggressive personality or someone who’s an outsider or
rebel. This sexy shade represents authority and power. You also appreciate elegance, style and timeless classics. But you may also have a darker side; black is often associated with villains and mystery.
- Silver. Silver has been the most popular car color in North America for the past seven years. Perhaps that’s because metallic shades symbolize luxury and class. Also, silver cars indicate someone who is cool, calm and slightly aloof. This high-tech hue says you’re a sophisticated driver who likes to show off your vehicle’s design. You’re also calm behind the wheel; a recent study shows silver cars are 50 percent less likely to be involved in a crash.
- Red. Red cars denote those who are full of passion, energy and drive and who think move and talk quickly. A bold color choice, red says, “I want to be seen!” This hot hue has been found to raise blood pressure and stimulate the senses. You are dynamic and sexy with a need for speed. Red gives off high-energy vibes and people drawn to the color may take more risks — gamblers tend to place higher bets when seated under a red light.
- Blue. Cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver. Blue is cool and serene. It calms the mind and creates a sense of tranquility. If you drive a blue car, you may be seen as conservative, loyal and quiet. But you may also be tuned in to trends — car-color forecasters predict blue will be hot in 2008. Read more
