Default what colour hides an ugly car

What colour hides the form and shape of a ugly car, White? Black? Grey? Silver or maybe gold? I was thinking white until I saw a ugly white car earlier (White is great for hiding dents and ripples) Now I don't know what blends the best? Any ideas?

Chucking the car into a ravine would be best for a Montego.

A heavy fog is a great colour to hide an ugly car, they will turn on their fog lights though.

I do think that most people ignore silver cars and pay little attention to them so perhaps this is the best colour.

Bright pink, you just laugh so much you don't actually look at anything in depth.

"Fleet-Car Silver" is my vote. A special shade reserved specifically for fleet cars that disguises even the ugliest of motors.

LOL must be true, most modern beemers are fleet-car silver and ugly as hell. More than a mere coincidence surely.
