Colour coded - The mood of your car

Ever wondered what your car says about you? If none of above sound like you, remember the colour of your car also depends on the mood you were in on the day you bought it. People's personalities also change over time, so because a car is a long-term purchase, the colour you choose may not reflect your personality five years later.

Blue: These cars are perceived to be safe and are generally chosen by more reflective and cautious drivers. Blue-car drivers are the least likely to break the rules of the road or to receive traffic lines.

Black: Drivers who choose black cars are motivated by financial achievement and generally like to be seen to be successful. Their cars denote a tendency for aggression and they tend to be rebels who make their own rules.

White: Owners of white cars have a tendency not to see the bigger picture and focus on just one thing at a time. They often struggle to think laterally.

Silver/grey: Silver cars are perceived to be the most technologically advanced. And with people becoming more technologically aware, it is no surprise that silver is so popular. Drivers of silver cars tend to be cool, calm and aloof, and are fussy about the shape of their cars.

Green: Green cars are usually owned by people who like to be camouflaged, the car blending in with their surroundings just as they blend in at social gatherings. They like peace and tranquility and will step back if they ruffle other people's feathers. They need space and like to reflect on their lives.

Red: Fast and faster would sum up this type of driver. These people move fast, live and drive fast, and are the most likely to receive traffic fines.

Yellow: Yellow is an intellectual colour and drives of yellow cars are precise and analytical. They are left-brain people and they love gadgets that stimulate the mind. This is reflected in their cars, especially in the interiors, functions and technology.
