What Does the Color of Your Car Say About You?
The color car you drive actually says a lot about who you are to your friends, family, co-workers, potential dates and clients. There is some indication that the color car you drive can have as much impact on that “first impression” as the make and model.
Here is a snapshot of what your car color is broadcasting about you:
-
Red
A red car indicates that you are a passionate person. You are a “take charge” kind of individual and you are at least a little wild. If you are thinking of buying a red car keep in mind that red cars still have the highest rate of theft and the highest insurance rates than any other color vehicle. Bright red paint also subconsciously sends the message that the owner is in a higher income bracket.
-
Orange
An orange vehicle is exceedingly hard to find. If you have an orange car you most likely crave attention. You are also generally a happy and upbeat person who enjoys being unique.
-
Yellow
There aren’t too many yellow cars on the road either, but a few companies do put them out; think the Ford Focus and VW Bug for instance. If you drive a yellow car you are confident. You like to have fun and you embrace the child within.
-
Green
Green is the color of nature. The person who chooses a green car is conscientious. They tend to be the go-to person in tense situations because they know how to keep their emotions in balance.
-
Blue
If your car is dark blue you are likely a very loyal person. You value relationships over wealth and you are calm. Rather than stand out, you like to blend in. If your car is light blue you are serene and peaceful. You also have a strong maternal instinct.
-
Purple
This is the color of royalty. If you have found a purple car you are a cherished individual who loves beauty, but walks with strength and purpose.
-
Pink
There are few pink cars out there, but they can be found. If you have a pink car, you like to be treated with a soft touch. You like to smile and you think good health is important.
-
Brown
If you have a brown car that signifies that you are reliable. You are true to yourself and to those around you. You are earthy and don’t engage in “showboating.” You are approachable, responsible and worthy of friendship.
-
Black
A slick black car is the epitome of power and authority. Think CIA or Secret Service. If you have a black car, you are sending the message that you are in control and are self-assured.
-
White
There are many white cars on the road. What they say about their owners has a lot to do with their upkeep. A clean white car shows that you pay attention to detail. You are careful and pure. A dirty white car makes you look sloppy and indifferent.
-
Gray
Although gray often represents the dreary and depressing in clothes, furniture and paint, that is not the case with your gray car. A gray car is a comfortable one. It represents stability and self-reliance.
-
Silver
Silver cars represent prestige, wealth and luxury. The newer and shinier the car, the more this will come across.
-
Gold
A gold car represents wealth and pride. If you have a gold car, you likely want to be noticed. You want people to know you do not lack financially and you are independent.
If you are thinking about buying a new or pre-owned car, consider buying one in a color to match your individual personality!

What a great article! While it is true that you may not have chosen your car’s color based on any of the listed personality traits, it is true that people will subconsciously think some of these things when they see you in that red or brown car.

I stopped by to read and view your article on the recommendation of Liane Schmidt. I’m glad to have found it through her link, as navigating through Triond can be daunting at times.
I enjoyed reading this all, the pictures made it even more enjoyable. Good work!

I like this article! My husband is thinking about buying a car, and I’ll definitely make him read this. It may sound shallow, but your choice of colors do say something about you, and impressions matter more in some industries than in others. Thanks, a.king!

Good article, I enjoyed it very much. There is a lot to say for colour therapy even though some might not agree. It is true that sometimes we buy a car and take the colour that is available. You will find that for those who are able to buy their colour of choice the facts in this article are right.
Don’t let the negative comments get to you, a. king, it’s the positive ones that count. You did a great job.

I think what they said about the orange car is mostly true. I have one and I do get alot of attention from it. I like to be different, I am the only perso that many of my friends know who owns and orange car. I didnt look for an orange car but when I saw it I knew it was the car for me.

Very interesting! Although, I have to say my car is black and I’m definitely NOT the power/authority type of person. A total and complete Pisces which is the exact opposite. I liked the all black for it’s sleek and polished look. My next car will most likely be silver or once again black. Great article, as much of it does make sense.
