Default Whats the best colour for a car?

Of all the colours for a car, which would you say is the best?

I think black looks the nicest but Silver is the most practical. Black cars show up every spec of dirt. Silver cars however never look all that dirty.

I love metallic blue. But I love Black, and black won this time... but good lord it shows all the dirt... so I dont think I'll have a black car next time.

White is nice tbh. I dont mind it and its less dirt-prone than Black. Silver is horrifically boring IMO.

Thumbs up Re: Whats the best colour for a car?

i have to say its a toss up between dark, glossy green with a glossy black hood if i had to pick my colours at a paint shop, or custard yellow. brilliant white is very nice too, you know the white which integra type r's come with. that and a black bonnet is very nice.

Gloss black, white and allmost every candy colour, though green and red look expecially good in candy
