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?

Green

The two PPs with red cars were hit while stationary. Obviously the idiot drivers weren’t looking where they were going and would have hit any colour of car.
My point is that a red car is more visible on the road in any weather conditions, so safer than grey for example, when driving in rain, fog, poor light or surface spray. And safer than white in a snowstorm!

I have a white car too
Total bugger to keep clean

EhUp · 22/08/2020 22:11

Mine is boring black, I would much prefer a blue car

I saw a brand new car earlier today (can’t recall what model) that was the colour of newborn baby poo!

Since I've started driving many moons ago I've had a
Red car
Orange car
Green car
Now I have a white car.

I like my white car but it's a maintenance to keep it clean all the time. But I wouldn't change it.

Brightish blue.
I don’t mind white so much but really don’t understand why so many people go for silver/grey/black. I had them myself and continually couldn’t find them in car parks.

Yes black can look smart when new but ours just looked grubby.

It’s called hot mustard, a shiny mustardy yellow colour

MrsJBaptiste · 22/08/2020 22:23

Black.

I've had light blue - totally Grandad colour and a friend has mustard. Why would you?

As for maroon... it might have all the mod cons but I'd rather a basic car in a decent colour than a more expensive car in a shit colour 😯

Doihavetogotoworkdotcom1 · 22/08/2020 22:44

Red

LolaGrace · 22/08/2020 22:45

Cream or as Mini describe its white pepper

Thesaltandthesea · 22/08/2020 22:53

Pine Grey. It's dark grey with a green tinge in the sun. Wasn't my choice but it's grown on me! My last 3 cars were all white.

IHaveBrilloHair · 22/08/2020 22:56

@LolaGrace
I have a Mini too, I absolutely love it.

QuestionableMouse · 22/08/2020 22:58

@EnglishGirlApproximately

Bright Yellow Grin Don't care about the resale value as I keep my cars until they die and I absolutely love it!
My last car was bright yellow and I loved it too.

Current car is silver and I'm not overly keen on it. Lovely car but it is apparently invisible.

KobeWan · 22/08/2020 23:00

Back in the day, I drove a salmon pink Corsa, as shown.
One day, I got a parking ticket and I was absolutely incensed because the traffic warden recorded the colour of my car on their ticket as 'brown'. Fuming!

SpunBodgeSquarepants · 22/08/2020 23:01

@katieweasel Citroen C1? If so, snap! I love mine too!!

housemdwaswrong · 22/08/2020 23:01

White for me too. Wasn't bothered about colour, I wanted an automatic, quickly, and this was in stock in the make I wanted. Gets dirty obviously, but can be seen more clearly in wet horrible weather, (90% of the Welsh summer so far).

HorsesDogsNails · 22/08/2020 23:03

My car is a really dark red, and as a Fiat 500 is quite unusual, most seem to be light/pastel colours. T'is beautiful!

DH's is white, DS's is silver and DD's is dark grey...

YgritteSnow · 22/08/2020 23:04

White. All my cars have been white except for one, which was silver.

Ughmaybenot · 22/08/2020 23:05

Black ute, silver ute, white van, navy car. Nothing exciting here!

amusedbush · 22/08/2020 23:06

Mine is dark metallic red. Not bright red but not quite burgundy.

I really like it.

EstuaryBird · 22/08/2020 23:08

Iridium according to the manufacturer.......Silver to the rest of us.

stardance · 22/08/2020 23:09

Purple. Technically it's 'midnight black'.

goingtosleep · 22/08/2020 23:10

The ONLY acceptable colours for cars are silver, silver/grey, black and maybe white...

Kaiserin · 22/08/2020 23:11

Bright red.
Initially I wanted a blue one, but this one was available, and relatively cheap, so I went for it for the specs and price tag. And now I love the colour!
I also love the fact it's high visibility in poor weather.

howdidigettobe50something · 22/08/2020 23:17

Bright orange mini with black bonnet stripes. I love it!
