What does your cars colour say about you?

Post by sach »

silver
Silver has become increasingly popular in recent years, thanks to its ability to look great on virtually any body style - from a sleek sports car to a family saloon. It also exudes cool and mirrors the colour of today’s technological gadgets, such as PDAs and mobile phones, conveying a clinical, mechanical image. Silver is also good at hiding dirt and wear and tear and is a good neutral colour for prospective buyers.
What a silver car says about you: Psychiatrists reckon that choosing this colour means that you have great style and are often successful. On the downside however, they do say that you tend to be pompous.


Black
Black is the new black where cars are concerned. Always the epitome of neutral, assured chic, black can add a slick, classic finish to even the most cumbersome cars. It may be a touch on the conservative side, but black is still a bold choice. Be warned, though, even the most minor of scratches will be highly visible.
What a black car says about you: The men in white coats maintain that a black car owner is a confident, ambitious driver who wants everyone to know just how successful they are.



Red
Bright and brave, red cars scream ‘look at me!’ in a bid to be the most noticed of all road dwellers. Often associated with sports cars, Ferrari being synonymous with it, red still manages to liven up even the most mundane motors, adding a much-needed touch of glamour to every model it graces. It may show up dirt and scratches, but when reselling it’s luckily still a popular choice.
What a red car says about you: By all accounts red car buyers are a lively bunch who are outgoing, spontaneous and exude a youthful attitude. Always on the move, they bore easily and also display traits typically associated with red - such as power, action and, more worryingly, aggression.




White
Safe and serene, white is a tricky colour for car buyers. On the right model, a Transit van or a limousine for instance, it can look great, but, often associated with the emergency services and plumbers, white has become a less common choice for car buyers. Bad at showing up dirt but good with scratches, white isn’t necessarily a good colour when trying to sell on.
What a white car says about you: Clearly, with the psychiatrist’s coat of choice being white, it comes out favourably. It is said to be associated with purity and preferred by those who love cleanliness and have a neutral approach. White car drivers are also reckoned to be methodical and reliable.



Blue
You must be careful which end of the blue spectrum you choose. Darker shades and metallic blues are a fairly safe bet, but stray too far to the lighter side and you could make a pricey purchase look like a bad joke. Sometimes cool and alluring, blue can easily be insipid and ill-advised, a navy or deep blue is your best bet.
What a blue car says about you: If it’s your favourite colour, don’t feel too blue. It has been said that blue car drivers are cool and confident and, while lacking imagination, are team players who are both sociable and friendly.



Grey
Not to be confused with silver, a grey paint job can look stylish and cool on an executive model, but tread carefully since without a metallic sheen it can look a tad dull. Safe and sound, a grey car is never likely to turn heads or make waves on the road, but reselling shouldn’t be a problem.
What a grey car says about you: Grey car drivers rejoice for you are said to possess understated good taste and are both safe and cautious on the roads.



Green
You’d think that with a shade called \'racing green\' this would be a popular choice, but strangely it isn’t. Maybe its associations with environmental issues has put gas-guzzling motorists off, or perhaps it has simply slipped off the style radar. Despite this, those favouring green coloured cars are thought to be very balanced people.
What a green car says about you: Green is said to symbolise life, earth and renewal and point towards generous, meticulous people who love food and gossip. Add to that some much-needed patience on Britain’s roads and, in a green car driver, you’re looking at a very sound individual.


Gold
A fairly bling-bling choice for your wheels, gold can still make a tasteful alternative to silver and needn’t be too garish. Not exactly a common choice, it isn’t to everyone’s taste and so could potentially affect any selling prospects. That said, it might well start to make a comeback with manufacturers noting a levelling-out of silver car sales.
What a gold car says about you: Gold car owners are likely to have been hit by Cupid’s arrow as it is said to symbolise universal love. Other positives of this colour include representing the good and noble, being the colour of protection and that it strengthens the heart and projects self-confidence.
