Car Colors & What They Say About You

This post is entirely for fun and should not be taken seriously and is not backed up by credible research. (:

We see all sorts of different colored cars each day and all sorts of different people driving these cars. Some take pride in their cars, some see it as an extension of their personality, some see it as a thing with wheels that takes them from point A to point B, whatever they see it as, I think the color of people’s cars reveal some traits about people.

Black
You are suave. So very suave. You most likely have tinted windows as well to make you even more.. suave. You drive down the road and look through your heavily tinted window at people and think to yourself, “I’m so suave.” You let your car do all the talking. Your primary reason in getting a black car is to portray masculinity, power, complexity, and mystery. If you’re a woman, it’s to portray power, sophistication-elegant yet bold, tucked prowess. Your words carry weight. Your enemy is the silver car—you will not be outdone by some neutral pitiful color! When put in a room with another black colored car driver, things can get tense. It’s a hit or miss if the opposite sex has a black colored car as well.

White
You’re hip to all the latest trends. You’re also street smart. You are a liberal arts major. You portray coolness, but at risk for passing off as feminine. You say to the world, “I’m cool and I can back it up.” You carry an outward mask of indifference. You’re a doer as you constantly keep your car spot free and waxed throughout the seasons. You like to flash your moves in traffic and play music loud. If you don’t have tinted windows, then you’re old or frugal and see tinted windows as more a novelty than a necessity. You match well with many different colors though sometimes there is some unseen tension when you come across a black colored car driver.

Silver
You’re the average Joe, with unexpected tricks up your sleeve. There is a whole range of things about you, but outwardly you appear neutral to many things. You are indecisive, but you are a smart shopper. You’re the late adopter of trends and like to be safe. You have many different talents and skills that many people overlook. You appear to be boring, but enjoy doing many things. You recently bought Apple stock. You go well with many different colors except black and maybe white. Black is too good for you and white abuses you. Mediator of the two? Perhaps.

Yellow (Racing Yellow)
The spirit of the sports car is in your blood. You are bold. Maybe a little too bold. You are haughty. Borderline egregious. You like attention. You don’t care what others think as everything you say or do is fact. Or, you just absolutely love the color yellow, but most likely you chose yellow to grab unsolicited attention. You desire to fill the void in everyone’s peripheral vision. You also have a personalized license plate saying “IOWNYOU.” You wish your license plate could include more letters so you can say “IOWNYOUSOGOOD.”

Dark Blue
You’re a mystery. You’re a little odd. You’re closely related to silver cars. You’re quiet and humble. You have a modest car and never go above 3000rpm. You go well with darker colored cars and neutral ones. You’re a deep thinker, but never express the conclusions you’ve reached. You need someone with a white car to help you bring out your potential. Or you can find a silver car driver and live happily ever after.

Red (Plain)
You’re out of this world. Fun. Mature. You’re going to keep your car until it dies because you love everything about it. Or, you’re a socially awkward person with a dangerous persona and appear to be weak to the public. If not, then you want a family.

Maroon
You are unique. Flexible. Responsible. You have to teach black and white a lesson from time to time. You bought this maroon car knowing it’s maroon and that it’s different, perhaps not your first choice, but you’ll make it work. Everything you do has your signature touch to it. You have mahogany furniture. If you don’t, unconsciously, you do.

Lavendar
You are what people call a man’s man. Despite your car giving off a flowery aroma, you own the road. People double take at you and become envious. Who thought of this color? You are the trend setter. Jawsome.

Other Colors
There are too many. Sorry!
