Default What Your Car Color Says About You

There's always a debate on the forum as to which is the best color Monte Carlo. I thought it would be interesting to see how many people have the traits that are associated with the color of their car:

And the idea that red cars get more tickets? Complete bunk:

Black may represent elegance and power, but do you know the psychological reasons why you gravitate to that color?

'Lovers of black have a need for power and control in order to protect their own emotional insecurities.'

Here's some other colors:

Red: Sensual, Dynamic, Outgoing


<table width="520" border="0"><tbody><tr><td valign="top" rowspan="4">There are two different kinds of reds: vibrant and deep-blue. Both express the same traits. But those who go vibrant are bolder. “There’s definitely an element of sensuality that goes with red,” Eiseman says. “There’s that dynamic quality and high energy. They like to be seen as someone who really stands out and they like to call attention to themselves. They don’t shy away from it. It’s definitely an outgoing individual.”

Those who ride around in a deeper bluish-red (wine or maroon) have the same inclinations, but are more subtle. “They want to be perceived the same way as the red but they’re far less obvious about it,” Eiseman explains. “It’s not in your face. It’s underlying. You have to look a little deeper to find the true meaning of who they are.”

See that? All of us red Monte owners are sensual, dynamic, and outgoing.

White: Pure, Pristine, Direct
White car owners are hard to please. “There’s a degree of fastidiousness,” says Eiseman. “These are people who generally like things to be very pure and pristine and clear and direct. There’s nothing you can hide under the color white.” The woman who chooses a white ride is more likely to keep her car super clean. And she lives the rest of her life this way, too.

I'm not sure if I totally agree with this synopsis.

Orange: Artistic, Individual, Complex
An orange car screams unique. “It’s one of the most interesting colors because people who choose orange are usually very artistic, creative, original,” says Eiseman. “And they’re very individualistically charming. There’s a certain complexity to this kind of personality as well.”
I'll take it...

My car used to be grey, Storm Grey Metallic, and i would get pulled over all the time. Now that it is Earth Brown, i get looks, but not any attention from cops....It does not really say what grey cars say about my personality...lol
