North Florida.


Well, brown is better than black. If you've lived there through a summer and still want to get brown (,or any darker color) it may be fine for you. Maybe you could use the color to get a cheaper price on it....


I haven't lived through a summer in FL. We moved here shortly after the hurricane.

White has been the most popular car color for 7 years running, followed by black than silver.


That's because most work vehicles and work trucks are white. Cop cars too.


And rental fleet cars.

I don't want popular. I want a car I can easily spot in the parking lot that doesn't look like al the others. OP, I would buy a brown car if its a nice brown.

These are the questions I'd ask myself in making this decision. Who cares what anyone else thinks. (FWIW, there are some brown cars I'd definitely go for; others I'd really not care for.)


OP here: It's growing on me! We're buying a used car, so there are not as many options.

I live in north Florida. I was driving around town quite a bit today and since I had seen the title of this thread earlier, I took note of all the brown cars I saw while out and about. There seemed to be a lot, and they all looked fine to me.
