I'm not remotely superstitious, so none of them!

I would suggest that statistically, red would be the most 'bad luck' colour - because there are more red cars than any other colour, statistically, the must be involved in more accidents.

But that's the law of averages, not bad luck!

I don't think any colour makes the car a bad luck vehicle, it's the person's way of driving / servicing that makes you think this colour is a bad luck vehicle., sorry I can't give a vote colour A.B.

[jomifl]

Black, because you are 47% more likely to have an accident in a black car, and remember that hearses are black too and 50% of hearse trips usually end up with a funeral.

Why would a car colour make a difference to luck ?

Perhaps one could argue some colours are easier to see than others, but that is surely about it.

[retrocop]

I am sure I read an insurance company statistic,and they should know,that Red was the most common colour of vehicle involved in RTAs. Private vehicles not Tfl Buses of Fire appliances.

[Retrochic]

You should have a 'none' choice. Why would a colour of car be bad luck?

Silly nonsense!!

I had a burgundy red Ford Escort many years ago. I always reckoned that car was jinxed. I had three accidents in the first 18 months of having it - none of them my fault - idiots going into the back of me in traffic queues, coming out of side roads without looking and pulling out into me on the A303. I`d only had the car for two weeks when I had the first one.

sounds like my white Polo, 237SJ. It didn't have accidents, just breakdowns and other mishaps, once a month. Needed two new alternators, wire broke loose and electrocuted anyone opening the boot, glovebox fell out etc etc. Nightmare. But I blame VW rather than white.

My grandad used to say 'Never buy a Green car' because they blend into the background to easily and less likely to be noticed at junctions etc.

Gold cars cry out to be keyed

[Baldric]

I voted Green, I grew up in a rural area and green cars are not so noticeable on country roads.

[tonyav]

Exactly, Baldric. I think that was what my grandad mean't, a lot more country roads in his day to. Also when he started driving ( early 1930's ) I think there was pretty much only one shade of Green for cars, that horrible darkish Green.

[tamborine]

Pink limits purchase power ie for only lil girls too young to drive

[steg]

I had a red car, it faded to pink. I hated it... The stegess loved it

[tamborine]

OH bought a pink caddie that I soon sold after his demise.

[tonyav]

Was it a 59 with those massive fins on the rear wings, tambo ?.

The one that runs you down!

[Retrochic]

Sllver cars should be banned -they are the ones that blend into the road. White trucks are very popular in Canada which is ridiculous when you consider how much snow we get.
