>Car color:
>What’s it say about you?

>
>Ancient Egyptians believed in chromatherapy, the ability to heal with
>colors: Red stimulates mental energy, yellow stimulates the nerves, blue
>heals organic disorders such as colds and hay fever, etc.
>
>
>
>Modern car manufacturers believe in a version of the same thing: the
>ability to sell with colors. Psychiatrists analyzed car-color choices for a
>survey reported on K-LOVE radio, and here’s what your car color says about
>you:
>Black: First choice of ambitious drivers who want to project an image of
>success.
>
>Red: You’re outgoing and impulsive with a youthful attitude, but easily
>bored.
>
>Silver: You have great style and are often successful, but you tend to be
>pompous.
>
>White: The first choice of doctors and drivers who are reliable and
>methodical.
>
>Gray: Expresses understated good taste and indicates a safe, cautious
>driver.
>
>Blue: A team player who’s sociable and friendly, yet lacks imagination.
>
>So, if that’s how the colors break down, just which colors will you see
>most frequently on the road? According to a 1999 report from Dupont
>Herberts Automotive Systems, the top sellers in the following categories
>were:
>
>SUVs, trucks and vans
>1. White
>2. Black
>3. Dark/medium green
>4. Dark/medium blue
>5. Silver
>
>
>Full/intermediate-size cars
>1. White
>2. Silver
>3. Light brown
>4. Medium/dark green
>5. Black
>
>Sport or compact cars
>1. Silver
>2. Black
>3. White
>4. Medium/dark green
>5. Medium/dark blue
>
>“But wait,” you cry, “where’s red on those lists?”
>
>You thrill-seekers know there’s no other color choice for impact and
>excitement, and rest assured, red did show up in the Top 10 in those
>categories. Why not the Top Five? It takes a certain type of personality
>(as opposed to gender or age) to commit to red, and not every driver is
>bold enough to go with it.
>
>Car-color trends follow the fashion and decorating world. Hunter green was
>a popular upholstery and wall accent a few years back, and, big surprise,
>out came a number of cars — particularly rugged, woodsy wheels like SUVs —
>in hunter green. I, personally, think it’s anal to match your automobile to
>your wainscoting, but hey, Martha Stewart’s a bazillionaire, so who am I to
>judge?

>When choosing a car color, however, be sure to consider more than its
>ability to match your wardrobe. Certain colors require particular care.
>Keep this list handy when you choose:
>
>
>White: Although grime looks terrible on a white car, it’s the easiest color
>to care for.
>
>Black (and other dark colors): These are most susceptible to sun damage
>because of their heavy absorption of ultraviolet rays.
>
>Red: This also shows sun damage, so keep your car in a garage or shady port
>whenever possible.
>
>Pearl colors: These are the most difficult to work with. If the paint needs
>to be re-touched, it must be matched to look right from both the front- and
>side-angle views.
>FYI, bird droppings do a real job on your car’s paint, no matter what the
>color. Clean bird bombs immediately or live with a
>near-impossible-to-remove stain.
>
>And while we’re talking about car color, rest assured that no insurance
>company will cop to charging more for certain car colors — although some
>drivers of red cars staunchly maintain that they are pulled over for
>traffic violations more frequently.
>
>If you’re in the market for a new car and you’re thinking about trying a
>new color, consider my personal favorites:
>
>
>Luxury car: Any Mercedes in black.
>
>Sports car: A Mazda Miata, and it must be red.
>
>SUV: I’m a Blazer fan, and I like the trendy dark greens.
>
>Family car: A Volvo in silver or tan says slick, but responsible.
>
>Truck: A Dodge in dark blue, solid and strong.
>
>Compact: A new VW Bug in yellow is fun, flirty and easy to find in a
>parking lot.
>Whatever color you choose, wear it with style — and keep it clean. No car
>looks cool with “Wash Me” scrawled in grime
>
>e part!
