For overall appearance, it's hard to beat red. But for someone like me who never washes his car, some shade of gray or silver would hide the dirt and gravel dust better. (My car is red.)

There are a lot of factors to choose from. Certain colors show dirt easier than others, so if you live on a dirt road (you get where I'm going with this. All factors aside though, I personally love the dark metallic blue. I don't care the type of vehicle, the color looks good on anything ranging from sports car to SUV.

I've seen some really awesome paint jobs where the paint turns colors depending on how the light is reflecting off of it. Looks purple then turns green then blue and back to purple...pretty awesome.

I currently have a black car and a tan van. Before that was silver, before that black, before that maroon, before that, green. I appear to be fairly open minded, in reality I generally will buy whatever is on the lot and not worry about color. I put more thought into selecting a necktie. I think I'd find a red or blue car to be a little run of the mill. There are a lot of trendy car colors out now that will seem pretty dated in 5 years I'll bet.

I think technically black would be the "best" color - black absorbs heat, a black car would have hotter (and therefore thinner) air around it creating less drag. However, from a purely aesthetic point of view, the green known as Birtish racing green is quite nice. It's very dark and often complimented with tan.

It depends on the car. If it's a sports car, then either red or blue...like a navy blue, I think that's nice. On a mormal car, I don't know. It depends on the type really, and personal taste.

I know it might seem a tad superficial but I do place some level of importance of the color of my car. Royal and midnight shades of blue aswell as a burgundy type of red are my favorite colors for my cars because they are under-stated yet still attractive. Black and silver tend to be rather common colors (though still rather appealing) so I prefer to stick with simple but not very typical colors.

Black is the best, but red is nice and seems to require fewer trips to the car wash to stay shiny.

It depends on the car, but overall I would say silver or grey. If theres damage to the car you can't really see it as oppossed to a white or red car.

I generally don't care, but my favourites are an aqua (shiny of course). Aqua is great for aerodynamic, new looking cars. I don't mind dark red (marone) or blue or purple either. But as one person said, it all depends on they type of car it is.

I think that the best color for a car depends a lot on the car itself. Some cars look great in yellow, while others would look horrible in the same color. The same can be sair for almost any color - some just match certain cars better than others. Having said all that, I'm not sure I have a favorite color. I've had lots of cars, and as best I can recall, two were black, one was white, three were sort of champagne, one was silver but got repainted to a vanilla color), three were red, one was bright yellow, one purplish. That's all I can remember off the top of my head. My current vehicles are a sort of metallic sage green, a brownish metallic, and GI olive drab (my '44 jeep).

In general: black. For me: a dark purple would be kinda cool.

I'd normally say black. My Durango is Champagne but I'd like it better in black... as for most sports cars I'd say red

I like red, although blue is nice, my favorite color is green but I don't know if I would like that in a vehicle, unless it was military. I drive a white Suburban, but it's an emergency vehicle, my wife drives a red Volvo, it's nice. I guess to sum up anything is fine with me except pink, neon green or pee pee yellow. :)

Couldn't care less. All I care about is whether the damn thing runs.

Black, gold, or green. I hear that cops give out more speeding tickets to people who drive red cars.

A deep, dark green. I suppose this would be forest green. I also like silver and blue.

In the cooler states, you can get away with black, all cars look great in black. But you wouldn't want a black car down south, it just gets really hot inside a black car, down here, I would prefer like a champagne metallic tan on most any car, if I only had a choice of 1 color... one color that seems to be popular down here all of a sudden is this school-bus yellow dodge pickups. Trust me, it's hideous. You can get away with a tiny little car being that yellow color, but something as big as a dodge pickup does NOT look good in this color!

I prefer solid colors. I like a dark blue or black on trucks, which is pretty much all I drive, but I did have a red 1988 Chevy Silverado years ago.
