The colour of a car

If you found exactly the model of car you wanted would you mind what colour it was? Would you refuse to buy a car if it was a colour you didn't care for?
I am very fussy about the colour but maybe that's a female thing?

I wouldn't touch a white motor, or a bright red one. tend to go for the darker colours, although my one at the moment is silver.

 

The price , mileage , condition , specification and colour are all important . Now some say the colour is not important if it is a good price and condition , but then you have to look at sat on your drive every day , and if you don't like the colour...........

 

Although the colour of nature itself which is fine, I hate green with a passion and the odd thing is it tends to crop up regularly for me. If I have a choice of colour and a shop assistant offers me something they will always pick out green, grrrrrr! So when it comes to a car green is a non starter along with silver, that to me always tends to look scruffy when the car gets older.

I had a black car up until a year ago, beautiful when it's clean, terrible when it's dirty. I'm not a lover of bright coloured cars but I currently own one that's bright blue and it makes me feel very conspicuous, the car was a good deal when I bought it so the colour had to take a back seat.......excuse the pun!

 

All but one of my cars have been red. I have not gone out to but a red car, but i have always got a good deal on them so the colour of a car would not put me off if it was what I wanted. The other car was white, I will not buy another white one though nightmare to keep clean and it got stolen.

Rusty are the police looking for a dirty white car !
Same here with red cars , every car I had from 1968 , a Ford Anglia to the late eighties Sierra were red ! Come to think of it all my cars since then have been Blue. Except for a metallic purple one ( mid life crisis choice ! )

 

Will not buy a white one as we live up a dirty road, ah and will not buy a pink one as well

 

No Harry it happened about 10 years ago, but the police did find it on bricks with no wheels on. And when I went to get it there were about 6 kids jumping on it then the little s@@@s started throwing stones at me when I was putting the wheels on to get it home. A few months later I gave it away to a mate and it got stolen again and burned out. I think it may have been an unlucky car.

Did have a red one years ago, but when driving through a big city alot i kepted being pulled over, once 3 times in one night (nowt wrong),but the people in power were playing a game of snooker, when i found this out the next time i was pulled, i just said is it time for another coloured ball they just let me go and no more problems after that

 

My car colors choices have always accented my hair color.

 

I will never get my colour choice unless I paint the car myself, so I just take whatever is on offer, as long as the car is what I want.

 

I would like bright pink or scorching orange, I always buy secondhand but might be able to get one one day.

I would quite like one of those white cars with a deep, glossy finish, not keen on the skimmed-milk whites. I think a pale coloured car is safer because it's more visible.

My present car is silver, like 70% of cars on the road, safe, inoffensive, but boring as heck. I really wanted a glossy red one. Ho hum.

My last car was a sexy, black Corsa Sxi, not what I would have chosen at the outset but a nifty little number and I loved it.

I would never buy a car whose looks I really hated, no matter how sensible a purchase it might be from other points of view. It would annoy me every time I looked at it. There's always other cars to buy.

So, Clueless, what is your colour choice????

Hey, it's letting me post again!! Hooray!

 

One colour isn't enough. I'd quite like either red and orange, like a tequila sunrise, or a rainbow pattern.

I don't understand why cars are all one colour.

I've always said that if I ever buy a car that I like enough to spend money on, that needs nothing major doing except that its paintwork is in a terrible state, then I'd paint it how I want it. So far I've never been able to justify it yet.

If we look to the classic VW fans for inspiration, some of those old buses and beetles are proper works of art.
