Car Color

[Karen]

just curious, as we were in traffic today, and noticed how many cars were all silver of some sort. Our car is dark green, I like having it an actual color. What color is your current car? Feel free to clarify in a post - ours is technically "clover" but it's much closer to an evergreen like holly in shade.

I set the poll to allow multiple options for multi-car families!

Lol... Silver!

my own car is white with purple stripes but the (shared) offroad Jeep is silver. My boyfriend has 2 green pickup trucks, a red one and a green Willys Jeep. I love white cars but they're such a pain to keep clean. My next vehicle will likely be silver or purple.

Red here. I was wanting the sapphire blue when I bought it, but the wait was too long. Also in the driveway is the dark green Liberty and the sapphire blue Journey - my son and DIL's.

The further south you go, the more light color cars you see. I couldn't figure why I never saw anything but light colored ones in FL (except for the tourist's vehicles), but then it dawned on me - light colors to reflect the heat. DUH - sometimes I'm slow on the uptake....

Attached is my blue 2003 Prius, and me.
Sometimes it looks green.

Metallic bronze. It was either that or white and white does not stay white around here.

The "other is a grey and green club cab truck that hubby uses for hauling stuff or just leave the van when I need it.

Really dark blue - almost looks black at times. I hate it.

Next time I'm going to get some really cool color, like lime or purple
Once upon a time I had a bright yellow Mustang. The color was great - the car, not so much.

So it's three years later - do you still love it? How has the mileage been for you?

[cassiesmom]

It's red. I would never have chosen a red car or a coupe... but my mom and dad needed to go from two cars to one at about the same time as my previous car (also a Saturn) was approaching really high mileage. I love the back doors that open from the center (my dad and I call those the 007 doors because they remind us of something from a James Bond movie). It's good with gas. I know three things about my next car: it won't be a Saturn , it will probably be a sedan and it will have 4 doors. I had the teal green Saturn when that was their most popular color; then I had light blue when that was their best selling color!


This isn't mine, it's a media photo.

My brother has a Ford Fusion that he really likes. It has a great sound system and got good safety ratings. It just feels stable when I drive it.

Hmmm, I chose both green and blue because my car is Teal. It's a Scion xB, which is becoming popular. I was tired on the basic colors including RED. It is different.

This is mine at the dealer.



These are the same model in better light.

My Jetta is silver. I wanted white but it was a choice between silver or charcoal grey. Bruce wanted me to get the charcoal, but silver was closer to white. My first car was a light blue and the next two cars were white. Then the car before the Jetta was dark green. Hated how the dirt showed up on the green. I love green though.

Bruce's Yukon is a champagne color. He calls it silver but it's more tan. He also had a dark green Yukon and Honda Accord when I first met him. Oh, and a silver turbo Porsche and a red convertible Porsche. Now we are just down to the two cars and a boat (green and cream) in the garage. Oops, can't forget the motorcycle.......it's a white iridescent color. Kinda looks like a CHP bike.

But I see sooo many silver cars here too. In fact, today I was almost hit by a silver Lexus SUV. After I screamed and honked the horn I said if they had hit me at least the color matched.

I wanted a white "pearly" car. It's more white than pearly. I've pretty much wished for another color since I've had it but I'm thankful I have it.

[mrspunkysmom]

I couldn't stand white as a color. The dirt showed so easily. And red fades.

My truck is dark gray. I too have noticed there are a lot of silver cars around, even in the parking lot at work!
