Never had a gray or silver car. Don't know if I've ever seen another car with the color of my Lexus, it's a very light golden metallic.

Quote HistoryQuoted: True. I should have clarified going to the dealer and ordering/buying a brand new car. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: When you buy used because you aren't willing to pay the premium for new, you take the best choice available. Color isn't that important. True. I should have clarified going to the dealer and ordering/buying a brand new car. I bought the last one on the lot of the previous model year for a significant discount. The trim was the one I wanted anyways, but grey was my choice of color. Cops don't even look at me.

Wrong. Silver is the color of understated wealth and prestige.
White and Black embody what you describe. |

I have never picked out thw color of my car.
I pick the used car on miles, price, and dependability. Current car is black, last car was grey, pickup before that was red... color was never a factor |

Meh. They took an extra $500 of the negotiated price because I wanted red or blue, but all they had was silver. I really wasn't invested in any color, but I took the money.

Quoted: Imagine being so indecisive, you can't pick between two non-colors, black and white. So you compromise and pick gray. What ever happened to people liking real colors in their cars? I've had two silver cars now. Maybe that's the color available at the time. ** Not everyone can custom order a car ** |

I like my generic grey McEgg
 I didn't like silver, Subaru black has a cheap look to it, the only good blue is on the "sport" model which isn't worth a $5K premium for no added horsepower, so I actually chose dark grey. I like blending in to the background

I’ll never own another black car, dirty the minute you leave the car wash. Never had a white vehicle, not enough Spy glasses or flat brims in my house to justify it.
My LR4 is Orkney Grey. Has a really nice gold/yellow sparkle to it under sunlight.

My preference is light beige. Couldn't find an F150 in that color when I was looking. My 2nd favorite color is silver. And its not because I'm indecisive.
White is my third choice. Black is my LAST choice. I've done it and will never go black again. I pick colors that look clean the longest.  Attached File |

I bought a dark gray truck as that was one of the few colors remaining I could find for the year and model I wanted. I've had black, red, and light stone/tan before this one. If the other dealer hadn't been a dick not willing to negotiate, I'd have a brown truck instead.

Yeah I have a question for you OP.. HOW DARE YOU!
The chemical properties of silver (Ag) give it the status of one of the most sought after metals in the world. It is not only the most reflective metal, but it is also the most conductive and very malleable. As such, silver is used in jewelry, tableware, currency, and other prized items. So it is no wonder that the color silver would be used to adorn automobiles in the form of metal brightwork and lustrous paint. Automakers routinely have saved silver touches for only the most prestigious models and show cars. Names like Silver Arrow, Silver Bullet and Silver Streak soon came to represent the pinnacle of performance and style. Today, silver cars are still captivating despite technological advances and new build materials. It seems that for automobiles, silver cars will always set the gold standard to which others are measured. Silver gets kind of a bum rap. There was a time when silver was king, when men like George Hearst ran roughshod over the wild parts of America looking for it. Sadly, it has fallen out of fashion in recent decades, losing out to gold or platinum. Silver has a lot to offer though, it's attractive, easy to work with, and its color serves to highlight the intricacies of whatever its shaped into. It's because of this last property that silver has long been a favorite hue for enterprising car designers to show off their finest work. In fact, the list of beautiful silver cars is so long that friend of V3llum and legendary automotive enthusiast Bruce Meyer, in conjunction with the Petersen and Rolex, had to spend long hours over lists of cars, carefully winnowing out the lesser examples to create arguably the greatest collection of silver-hued automobiles ever assembled. This magnificent exhibition is called Precious Metal, and it promises to serve as a swift spiritual kick to the head that will realign your perception of both the sculptural beauty and outright cost of automobiles. Since getting into the details on each vehicle in Precious Metal would take eons, as each car has a unique history, we'll focus on our three favorites: the Mercedes W196 streamliner race car, the Horch 853 Sport Cabriolet, and the McLaren F1.

Quote HistoryQuoted: I like silver as a color. Does not retain heat in the summertime and does not shown filth as badly as dark colored cars. I wish there were more cars/trucks that came in green colors. Not the shitty florescent green, but other greens. Why is green not used more often? My car is dark red and my truck is bronze color. The truth. |

Maybe people don't want to look like they're a Code Inspector for the city in a white vehicle, or like they're an Uber driver of Middle Eastern descent in a black vehicle. Since people over the age of 23 don't have any business driving a red vehicle, and blue vehicles are the universal sign that the driver enjoys deep throating, we start running out of options.
Is OP going to post up pictures of his white '97 Tacoma with aftermarket "rims" or not?
