Grey Car, Silver Car, Silver Car, Grey Car.

I had a green Wartburg once, which was called "Start ya b@rstard!"

I've had:-

Red,
Champagne (off silver)
Red
Metalic dark greeny bluey colour (changed colour with light)
Silver
Silver
Silver

My Wife
Blue
White
Red

Black is a bugger to keep clean. Silver looks awesome clean.

My current company car is a dark grey, the last one was too. The next one very likely will be as well.

User43827 got it spot on in his earlier post, they just appear to maintain a better appearance between washes than other colours and I currently cover between 25 and 35 thousand miles per annum so the ability to disguise road muck is high on my agenda when choosing a vehicles colour.

Does make them look a bit boring though!

 

[fossyant]

Not bad for an old 14 year old car in a 'boring' colour ? Silvers and greys are good for hiding motorway dirt, but they do look good clean.

Mine is blue with black roof . As I bought it new, that's the colour I chose and still love it.

My green car seems to hide the dirt well. It doesn't look dirty until it's really dirty.

I have a black car, Mrs F a silver one as has my mum, I use all of them and often spend time wandering around supermarket car parks, wondering.

If you're at all interested, my car is white, the last one was black and the one before that was grey.

Edit: kewl thread bro.

I read the title and thought it was one of those tongue twisters, like, polish it behind the door, I even started saying it at speed before I gave up and read the op.

A work mate suggested that the car companies are to blame because they make silver/greys for the lease fleets as they are the easiest colours to paint match and the cheapest. No idea if this is true but it makes sense.

Your work mate knows nothing about painting cars that is for sure.

The silver/grey is the automotive equivalent of a 'business suit'.

 

[screenman]

As for car colours, I have a black one, a copper red one and a blue one.

I have owned over 4,000 so I will not list them all if that is ok.

I've owned two and a half cars, the current one is an elderly silver Getz, the one before it was a red KA, and back in the late 1970's I had a hand painted green three wheeler van.

As Quesy said, once they discovered silver requires the least maintenance...plus a couple of ground breaking models are classic in arctic silver...
