Hi Friends! happy
Suppose you are asked to buy a brand new car for yourself in that case what would be your choice of colour of that car. While buying a vehicle for our family or ourselves we pay considerable attention towards the colour of the car and sometimes, if a car of a particular colour is not available, we tend to wait for that particular colour. I would like to know your choice about the colour and would also like you to tell us why would you choose the particular colour for your car. Different persons will have different choice of colour, as per their taste. I have seen many persons going for colour white, because it is quite common and universal colour and it absorbs less heat and looks cooler. Please share your opinion with us. Many thanks in advance. happy

The colour would be far less important to me than the running costs or comfort but I would be unlikely to choose a red one. This stems back to a horrible dream I had years ago which involved a red car. I'm not keen on gold, lime green or orange either. My current car is a silver-grey one which is pretty boring but, it gets me where I need to go thumbup

Hi Wizzywig!
You are right running cost and comfort are also very important while making a decision to buy a car. I know most of the people would not prefer a red colour car. Red colour seems uneasy to me, as far as cars are concerned. I feel that silver-grey is one of the best and sought after colours and you should not feel bored with it. lol

Deepak my choice of a colour would be either Gold or Silver. For all the while that i've had and driven around a car it's been one of these two finishes. I find them elegant and simple to maintain. Out here it does not get too hot in the summer, so the choice of colour does not get too influenced by the weather.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8691)   ranked 721 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Hi Alokn!
So you wish to make choice for two colours. I feel that silver or silver-grey is one of the best and sought after colours and many people go for it. Cars with golden shades/colours are also getting prominance now a days.
Many thanks for being the second one to respond to the discussion. thumbup

I forgo the choice Deepak because I would be happy with the colour chosen by my son who is an avid lover of cars.If you ask me the colour of a saree then I can come out with an answer. Otherwise I may not know. But, come to think of it, recently I saw my sis-in-law's husband's new one and it was a lovely grey. So I may say that to my son, but I would be happy about whatever his choice is.

Hi Kala!
You are right you could be better judge in respect of choosing colours of Sarees. I feel that silver-grey or grey is one of the best and sought after colours and many go for it. Many thanks for sharing your choice and responding to the discussion.

Hi Deepak,
Its been a long time I’ve seen you ANYWHERE!!!
Anyways, I love the colour green so mint green would be an obvious choice. I don’t like the deep green of Maruti 800, rather the snazzy mint green of some other car (santro or something, I don’t exactly know the name of the brand)…other than that, I love the tomato red colour of another brand (again I cant remember the name)…so basically, mint green first and tomato green second…*sign* if only wishes were horses!


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8691)   ranked 721 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Hi Sudipta!
I am very much alive and kicking and was active on mylot, I'm wondering how could you notice notice me?rolleyes (In fact, I did not find you anywhere and you did not respond to my previous discussion?)
I appreciate your choice, however, would like you to tell me the reasons for choosing mint green colour. I have noticed that practically mint green colour cars do not come in many numbers. However, I'll try my best to recommend your choice(s) about some unusual colour to manufacturers of cars. happy
Deepak

Heyya deepak! I like the colors red and black..lol..but they are considerd "racing" color here and will cause you to have to pay higher insurance premiums. So I usually stick with colors such as white or gray. They are nice too.


myLot reputation of 78/100. mysdianait (11469)   ranked 1,228 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Mine is black - never again! w00t
It stays parked outside and shows all the dust immediately, even if it went through the car wash a few hours previously doh


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8691)   ranked 721 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Hi Jen!happy
Oh! I see that you won't prefer red or black colour, because it is a racing colour at your place and you are required to pay higher insurance premium (it is a news to me, here in India car insurance premium are not paid according to colour of a car). White, I suppose, is the best colour and gray is also good. Many thanks for sharing. thumbup

I am hoping to change my car quite soon as it is quite old now. It is running perfectly but the outside has bangs and dents on it, all except one of them caused by other careless drivers thumbdown

My first choice would be for a silver-grey metallic colour and then white. Never again would I choose black as it shows up every single grain of dust on it! It is also very hot inside when it's summer here (I don't like A/C inside so I rely n putting the windows down). White would definately be cooler. Prior to my present car I had a white one and it was cleaner and cooler and worth considering next time.


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8691)   ranked 721 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Hi mys!happy
Oh! I see that you are fed up with your old car and its colour and you want a change. I also feel that silver-grey metallic and white are very good colours and many people for it, here in our city also. And between these two, white is better and it absorbs less heat and looks cooler. Many thanks for sharing and enriching the post. thumbup

I always wanted a red car but my husband doesn't like it. He mentioned about a survey that says red cars are the most accident and theft-prone cars( don't know if there is really such a survey or he just made it up LOL). So I settled for green. Good thing about dark colored cars is that dirt and dust are not easily visible - except of course for black. In choosing a car, of utmost consideration also other than the color is the brand(manufacturer), the functionality, and the price.

Happy myLotting!


myLot reputation of 91/100. dpk262006 (8691)   ranked 721 out of 34,863 in people  5 months ago

Hi dory!
I think that less people prefer to buy red cars due to so many reasons, I am also not sure about the survey. Dark colour cars are alright, they do not get dirty easily, as would be a white colour car. Drak colour cars, no doubt look good and distinct, however, the problem with dark colour is it absorb all the light and heat(that is why we people avoid wearing black colour clothes in summer).
Many thanks for sharing your choice of colour.

I like gold and silver colored cars. I prefer light colors cause dark colors tend to hold heat. Right now I am driving a maroon colored car with black interior. It gets real hot in there to but its all I could afford at the time.

I personally like either dark grey or silver. I am not sure why, I just think they look better. They glisten in the sun. I used to only buy tan colored cars because they are the same color as dirt and you do not have to wash them as much to keep them looking decent, but over the years, I have moved on the grey and silver.
