When I look at my apartment window at the parking lot below, I see almost entirely gray cars. And the rest are black or white, with a few maroon ones (another dull color). My car is red. Then there one Camaro which is a brilliant orange. if it weren't for these 2 cars, you'd think you were looking at a 1950s black & white TV show.
I decided to check out the colors of cars on the road. Sure enough. They're mostly all gray. What's the matter people ? Don't you believe in color any more ? I remember back in the 50s, cars were colorful, and often even 2 tone colors.
Gray cars are not only dull looking, they van also be hazardous. The Dept of Highway Safety says the safest color for a car is yellow (high visiblity both at night and in fog). 2nd best is orange. 3rd is red. The worst > gray (least visiblitly in fog).
So if you have a gray car, get down to the nearest auto paint shop, and get some color on your car.
