Color popularity
Financial impacts of colour choice
Silver is a popular colour for rental vehicles.[3] Cars that are silver retain their value better than any other colour, reselling for around 10% more than white cars; this superior resale value has caused many UK police agencies to replace their standard white patrol cars with silver models.[3]
A common belief is that red cars cost more to insure; in fact, insurers do not take colour into account.[4][5]
Historical trends
More colour variety in 1973, America
Colour choice is subject to fluctuation and fashion, and historical trends shifted from dark neutral colours of early cars, through more vivid colours of 1950s and 1960s, back towards today's greyscale colours.[6][7]
Gender differences
A 2013 survey in the United States found that men were 12% more likely to prefer a red car, while women were 9% more likely to prefer silver.[8] The research suggested this may indicate that women are more likely to prefer practical cars, while men may be more likely to prefer less practical but more fast and fun cars.[8]
