The colour of a car

With the exception of green, I really don't care what colour it is. It's not that I have any particular issues with the colour green, just that when my cousin worked in an insurance brokers, some of the companies would issue yearly stats., and for 4 years running you were, apparently, more likely to have your car written off or stolen if it was green. Other useless information included silver cars being more likely to have 'rear end shunts', red ones to be driven at speed and flip over and blue ones to roll down embankments!!

 

Me neither. I've never understood why cars aren't seen as blank canvases for artistic expression. People seem to care a lot about how the bodywork is designed but ignore the colour, which is the most adaptable and easy thing to modify. But maybe that's all about to change.

 

My favourite colour is bronze metallic but they never use that for small cars!!
second favourite is...................WHITE!!!!!!

I absolutely abhore red cars, so does t'other half, but we could cope with candy apple red if needs must! T'other half had a red car as a company car and actually complained but it did no good .. so we had to suffer a red Scenic for a year or so ... cringe ... but great car.

I love green but have a blue car ... t'other half has a green car ...

None are by choice, it's how they came when we decided to buy the cars.

Here's me and my babe, Izzy ..

What do they say, blue and green should never be seen.

 

That's what I always knew and I wear the two colours together! However, as an 'amateur' artist, I can only think of the green fields and blue skies ...
