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

White has become the new silver
According to the latest new car registration figures released by the SMMT, White has been the most popular new car colour for the past three years.

In 2015 more than a fifth (21.4%) of new cars were white compared with less than 1% ten years earlier.

In contrast, silver, which was the most popular new car colour through most of the 2000s, now accounts for just over 10% of new car sales and comes 6th in the SMMT's top ten:

1. White - 21.4% (up 2.2% on 2014)
2. Black - 19.4% (up 5.3%)
3. Grey - 15.6% (up 21.1%)
4. Blue - 14.7% (up 15.5%)
5. Red - 12.1% (up 1.8%)
6. Silver - 11.2% (down 5.2%)
7. Green - 1.1% (up 31.2%)
8. Brown - 1.0% (down 23.3%)
9. Orange - 0.7% (up 25.7%)
10. Mauve - 0.5% (up 30%)

My father in law has a grey/silver car. When he parks on a big and full car park he puts a little fluorescent flag on his roof aerial so that he can find it when he goes back to the car, because there are so many grey/silver cars out there.
