What does the colour of your car say about you?
The colour of a car can tell a lot about the person who owns it. So can you really discover more about a driver just by the colour of their car? According to psychologists clues to a driver’s personality, their mood and even their lifestyle can all be found in the colour of the car they are driving.
We’ve decided to take a look at the most popular car colours and see what these colours say about the people who drive them.
Black cars
Black is seen as a “power" colour. People who drive a black car are those that are not easily manipulated and know what they want. They love elegant looks and appreciate anything that has a classic feel to it. A car we feel looks fantastic in black is the Jaguar XF. Although it looks great in almost any colour we feel that black really helps to enhance its classic look.
Silver cars
Silver cars are not necessarily owned by wealthy drivers. However, their owners do like to portray wealth and prestige. The only problem with this is that everybody is looking to do the same thing and therefore almost everyone owns one. A good example of this is the Mercedes C-Class. Although it carries a certain prestige you can buy a used example relatively cheaply. click here to take a look at a couple of good examples.
Red cars
It doesn’t take a psychologist to tell you that owners of red cars are those that are seen as passionate and don’t mind straying on the wild side now and again. As a rule, the more vibrant the shade of red then the bolder the driver. Red cars tend to be for people who have high energy and are very dynamic. Ferrari is a good example of a manufacturer that used the colour red to showcase all its models.
White cars
Sales of white cars have risen dramatically since 2008. Jeremy Clarkson put this down to car buyers moving back to the eighties. In this era cars such as the pearlescent finish on the now classic Audi Quattro demonstrated that its owners were rich and prosperous. However, we simply believe it’s because the design of cars today simply suit white better. Owners of white cars are notoriously hard to please. They like things to be in their proper place and generally have nothing to hide.
Blue cars
Blue cars show that their owners are generally quiet people who don’t like to “rock the boat". They are the type of drivers that wanted to buy a yellow Audi Coupe to show how youthful they are but went for the blue Ford Focus. However, these drivers also have credible, confident and dependable traits.
Owners of green cars are very traditional people. They are trustworthy and have a balanced lifestyle. Green is one of the least sold cars on the DesperateSeller.co.uk website which means that if you own one then the chances are that your car is very old. Drivers of green cars are “keepers" and will own their cars for a considerable number of years.
Yellow cars
You’ve got to be both bold and brave to own a yellow car as they’re hard to miss on the road. This is why their owners tend to be very confident, like to stand out from a crowd and don’t really care what anyone else thinks. Examples of yellow cars are usually more common on sportier cars such as the Renault Megane coupe.
