Can we not have a "None", please?

[Booldawg]

As I always end up paying the tax, insurance, MOT, servicing costs and fuel for a car the wife drives round in, then I consider any car to be 'bad luck'

[mikey4444]

None, as I am not superstitious, but I am sure that I have read somewhere that certain colours are more prone to accidents than others, presumably due to their less visibility to other drivers.

[Booldawg]

That makes sense Mikey.

As a sidenote I find it hard to see the indicators working on some modern models of cars that has white lens but orange lamps.

Have you noticed that the colours of most cars today are very bland? They are mostly any shade of grey between black and white.

I voted pink. Who in their right mind would buy a PINK car!!!!!!! Someone who cannot drive obvs.

[mikey4444]

I have often wondered why black is so popular these days.

I suppose it might look OK on a hearse but not on a family hatchback, and its a begger to keep clean. I had a navy-blue car Qashqai once, that was so dark that it looked black from a distance and that was the same !

[tamborine]

All bells & whistles tony. It had more lights than Vegas.

I've always choose a black car but I wondered if they might be in more accidents as you can't see them as well at night. I was thinking of choosing another colour next time but it would still be a dark colour like Midnight Blue perhaps.

//White trucks are very popular in Canada which is ridiculous when you consider how much snow we get.//

Ideal camo when the long distance truck driver is having his illicit tryst whilst hubby is on graveyard shift!!

[Barsel]

Sorry, that should read I always choose.

[mikey4444]

I noticed on my first trip to Los Angeles in 1990, that almost every car on the Freeways was either white, beige or silver....very few dark colours. After a few days I realised why. Just leaving our rental car, which was green, in a car park for a few hours, turned it into an oven. So I guess the outside temperature was factor in most people choice.

Options don't cover all responses, needs a zero response. I once had a car with a pearlescent finish that looked different in different light!

[jennyjoan]

I had a green car about 6 years ago and the luckiest car I ever had - do not know what possessed me to get rid of it as it was going strong.

[rexob651]

Grey

[hc4361]

I had a green car but quickly got rid of it. The amount of vehicles pulling out in front of me was scary, they obviously didn't see the car approaching.

[Prudie]

It is all rubbish but as my mother said never buy a green car, they're unlucky, I've never risked it and never would.

[douglas9401]

Luckiest car.........in the WORLD!

I once had a green car. It was scary. In a country area, I don't think it was seen so well. It is the only car in which I have killed, twice in separate incidents. They were cats which ran under my wheels giving me no chance to avoid them. This may not have been due to the colour, but it never happened before or since I drove it and the number of people who pulled out in front of me was not proportional to any car I have ever driven since.

[Chipchopper]

It surprises me that silver got such a low score, its a very popular colour and easily blends in with the background in an urban area i,e asphalt roads.
