What colour is your car?

Mine is white. I remember when white was to be avoided but now seems to be very acceptable. Anyway I'm ok with a white car for now. My neighbour (sort of - next road) has got a brand new 20 plate big Volvo in brown! Brown. Why?! Why are there brown cars?

I have a black one and a red one, my DF did a sucky teeth thing as apparently these are 'bad' colours for cars, whatever that means. I never understand brown cars it just seems a bit bleugh.

Dreamersandwishers · 22/08/2020 19:19

Totally with you on the brown. Like a motorised turd.

Mine’s dark blue. I have had a few blue cars, mostly by accident, but I do like the colour.

Cloudburstagain · 22/08/2020 19:19

Grey

JayAlfredPrufrock · 22/08/2020 19:20

Burgundy.

Justgivemesomepeace · 22/08/2020 19:20

I have black and DP has navy blue. My last 3 cars have been black.

irishmammy85 · 22/08/2020 19:22

Light blue

Mel1091 · 22/08/2020 19:22

Mines silver, old one was dark grey. Hubby had copper now he has yellow. You can tell who prefers normal colours 😂

DobbyTheHouseElk · 22/08/2020 19:22

Passion red

I have a black car. I think they are trying to make Brown cars a fashion. I've seen a few on the road and Brown cars in the 70s were very in..... you never know.

CormoranStrike · 22/08/2020 19:24

Burgundy

Rebelwithallthecause · 22/08/2020 19:25

Black and blue

Brown will be short lived and then make those cars cheaper secondhand as the residuals will be lower due to unfortunate colour choice

Rebelwithallthecause · 22/08/2020 19:25

Yellow has the same effect on residuals

MellieNelba · 22/08/2020 19:25

Well when I ordered a new car - I ordered teal . I had always had red card before.When I picked it up it was powder baby blue - apparently that’s Volkswagen Teal - I have got used to it but it def would not be my first ( or second ) choice

Nicola345 · 22/08/2020 19:27

I also have white

BeeyatchPlease · 22/08/2020 19:27

Both DH and I have black cars.

I keep vowing never to buy another black car yet each time I get a new car, it's black 🤷🏻‍♀️
I suppose when they're pristine and shiny in the showroom, black cars look amazing.
Once you take them out, they show up the slightest bit of dirt and seem to need washed weekly 🙄
I never learn....

Katieweasel · 22/08/2020 19:27

Botticelli Blue. I bloody love it!

Fives · 22/08/2020 19:27

@MellieNelba oh that is gutting. I always think the Ford Focus in blue looks purple and always get told it is blue. I would be upset to get a different colour to what I was expecting.

Turquoise. I love it but since I bought it two more people on my street have bought the exact same car so am trying to chose between red and a gold/orange colour for the new one.

AuntieDolly · 22/08/2020 19:30

My sister had a brown one and we still refer to it as the poo car. Mines cherry red.

Rockbird · 22/08/2020 19:32

One black (mine) and one silver (DH's). I detest coloured cars and will only buy black ones. Silver is the worst Wink

StartingGrid · 22/08/2020 19:32

Mines white, though I actually didn't want white and may get it wrapped one day - will be like getting a new car all over again!

isthismylifenow · 22/08/2020 19:33

When I moved to the UK I was quite surprised as to how many black cars there were as its really not so much of a popular colour in my country, as they attract the heat and just get too hot. White has already been the most popular colour here. It's the cheapest to insure as well.

Saying that mine is silver. My previous one was white along with i would say 60% of the rest of the cars

I saw a new brown car recently, it was either a Kia or Hyandai. But it was that yellowish baby poo brown. I did look at it and think it had to be a company car as why would anyone choose that colour?

YouStupidBoy · 22/08/2020 19:35

You would all hate mine then it's "light coffee"......I get quite a few compliments on the colour but also understand why lots of people wouldn't like it!!

I have always had white, black and dark blue before and it's refreshing to have something else.

EnglishGirlApproximately · 22/08/2020 19:35

Bright Yellow Grin Don't care about the resale value as I keep my cars until they die and I absolutely love it!

HansBanans · 22/08/2020 19:36

I've got a white car too. I really like it, except for the red paint scuff that is now on my door handle thanks to an inconsiderate neighbour! Hmm
