Gray, Black and Silver.
Favorite is silver - hides dirt/dings/chips. Least favorite- black always looks dirty. |

| I’m confused by people saying colors like white or black don’t look good after a little while. How long are we talking, 9 months or 5 years? Is this due to fading? Why would metallic colors hold up better? |

I have had 2 navy blue, 1 grayish blue, 1 maroon, 1 sea foam green, and now black.
If I had my choice, I would stick to navy forever. But my current car only has very light interior for navy cars (unless I custom ordered...not happening), and I like dark interior cars. I would have preferred gray over black, but it is what they had on the lot. Sea foam green was a sales job that I got suckered into as a new college grad. I hated that car (was told I would grow to like it) and traded it after a year. |

| Green. I like it because we live in a historic neighborhood with lots of trees and no garage, so it doesn’t detract from the curb appeal. |

Red
Black Silver Champagne Black White My favorites have been black (although they get hot and show every spot of dirt) and silver. Depending on what type of car I buy next, I’ll probably buy black or a dark gray. |

I have had red, light blue, dark blue, silver/gray, and super bright blue. The ugliest, and my favorite, is the super bright blue. We bought it 5 years ago thinking in a couple of years it would be DS's car, so we let him pick the color. After driving it for two years I realized the visibility in it kind of sucked (it's a RAV-4) so I wanted him to drive something else.
But I have grown to love the color because I *always* know where my car is in a parking lot. I haven't had a single panicked "where the f is my car" moment since I bought it. From here on out I intend to buy the most obnoxiously bright car available. |
