Blue, blue, blue! My car is blue and that's always my favorite color - although not so popular with car owners -- my 850 is a very deep "Nautica Blue", and looks beautiful!

black, and nothing else. It might be a pain to take care of, but when i am done it looks like a black mirror.
My next car might end up being a 3 stage pearl white, i do like that color too.

Black, which is my way of saying I have to much time on my hands. Not sure if my next car will be black.

Looks as though the majority of autopians own black cars (~30%). Are we detailing out of enjoyment or necessity?:nixweiss

My black car looks great, for about the first 3 or 4 hours after I wash it. Then the dust starts to show and I start thinking about when I will be able to find the time to wash it again. I just received my new Covercraft car cover. Now maybe I can get by with just washing the car once or twice a week.
Taupe Frost Metallic
It's sorta a dark taupe, but the zaino just has an amazing way of letting the metallic flakes reflect light. in one word-beautiful...
Black is the prettiest when clean and detailed, but the ugliest when only slightly dirty, good for a garage queen, though...
My car hides dirt incredibly well! Even though others may think it's still clean, I still give her a good bath every weekend...lol

Milano Red
I didn't want a red car back in the day, but it grows on me the more I look at it, which is quite often

My 5 series is silver, my 3 series is silver grey, my Mustang is Jalopena red, and my wifes Mountaineer is Black. The truck is the hardest to maintain. Silver is great.

I voted silver..
Heh heh, my thoughts exactly
Most of ours are variations on silver, but I do have the "tender blue" (how's *that* for a precious name!) RX-7 and the Byzanz M3, which is a pretty cool color IMO.For *years* I said I'd only own black cars, but man do I have a lot more time for other things since I got over that!

You’d be amazed how many different shades of black there are. Try parking black cars from different makers next to each other some time.Tiger88 said:
Obtw, if you want your car to be really black do not shoot it with DuPont Centari enamel. (Don’t remind me how I know that.)
Oh, and our cars are white, mint green, light blue and black.

Two silver cars here. My Spec V is molten silver, and I absolutely am in love with the paint color. It gives a gorgeous liquid silver look in sunlight, and a cool blue hue in the shade. My SE-R is brillant aluminum, and I am not as big of a fan of this shade of silver, as it's rather bland and white looking. No where near as nice as molten silver.
My fiancee has a black car, and it makes me cringe. So happy I have silver! I'm a good person, though, and I buy all sorts of polishes and stuff to use on his car.
I care more about what his paint looks like then he does most of the time...

Not surprised that silver is #2 around here. I just read the other day that silver is the most common color for new cars, and has been for 6 years running.
