If you are lucky enough to be in the market for a brand new car, you may think that the colour of the car you buy doesn’t really matter and you should choose what you like the best. However, although you might love bright, garish colours, when it comes to sell the car on you may find that not many other people agree with you. It’s best to choose a popular colour if you want to get the best price for your car.
Although it might seem a bit boring, UK motorists find silver to be the most agreeable colour for their car. However, silver doesn’t show the dirt like white does, and it might just keep you safer too. Australian research found that drivers in silver cars were 50% less likely than drivers in white cars to be involved in crashes resulting in serious injury.
Metallic paint is generally more popular than "flat" paint, with black and silver topping the charts for best residual value. One notable exception to this is choosing red (metallic or not) for sports cars. The car colours that put off most potential buyers include yellow, brown, gold and purple.
