What color cars have you owned?

[owc6]

I think that most people stick to one or two favorite.

I've owned practically all the colors.

What say you?

[RonC5]

Can't think of a color that I haven't owned. Color preference depends on the car, certain cars look better in certain colors. Only rule I have is not black, black is not a color, it is a career.

You have a lot more choice when you buy new. If you're a used buyer, color is kinda low on the list of criteria most of the time, at least it *should* be.

I think I've owned most of the colors at least once. Done the black thing a few times, never again.

Most unusual color owned was '95 Trans Am Blue-Green chameleon paint that changed depending on the angle and lighting... back when that was a thing.

Currently C5Z LeMans Blue and 2500HD Victory Red.

[Tikiman]

White, White, green, light blue, vitamin C orange, White, black, yellow, green, green, torch red, grey, and silver.

[LATB]

A couple of red, one blue, a couple black, but most were white...silver, and gray.
(mostly trucks)

What I found interesting thinking about this is the drift towards silver and gray as I aged.

And the interior looks like prison riot.

The newer flat-ship gray (think battleship) that is popular now looks like cr@p to me, it IS good to see some of the vibrant blues and yellows coming back though.

Yellow about only color haven't owned, had one with yellow stripes however. Didn't look that good.

I agree. I hate the various shades of white/dark white/silver/light gray/dark gray/ yadda yadda. When looking for a new car, that's mostly what dealers have on the lots.

Not sure why they're so popular; not really pleasing to the eye, and they're hard to find in a big parking lot if you're out shopping.

I bought a '23 Mazda CUV and wanted either blue or red. I got red, optioned the way I wanted, although red was an optional color. Parking lots are full of SUV types but at least mine stands out somewhat.

I didn't list all 26 vehicles I've had, but I had a brown '62 Chevy II, it was used so no choice of color. It was a tough little car.

[mrvette]

Funny how yawl made me tink about it a bit......but every color cept yellow and black.....my '60 vette had black scoops on the side though, red mainly....

[Bill]

Other than the '96 Collector's Edition Vette, which only came in grey, everything else has been either blue or black.

[Datawiz]

I've had red, white, blue and brown, but for the last 30 years or so, every single new car I've purchased has been black.

[6spdC6]

With the amount of cars/trucks I have owned since the early 1960s best bet I have had every color except pink.

[Yadkin]

Probably every color except brown and gold. Two of mine have been yellow.

I had a forest green metallic 1990 Bronco with a tan top. That was really sharp.
