Default What Color Is The Fastest ? !!!


Please Explain:
Physics 101
Emotional Reasons
Psychotic Reasons
The Red Shift Theory
Somehow it does matter - ask a cop !
And does wearing sun glasses make a difference?

Has anyone ever seen the JUST clearcoat over polished / cross brushed metal "Fenders etc" strips / stripes that comes from Harley Davidson, the color paint is in adjacent areas ? Very Nice Original Look from HD.
I'll look for a link.

Red That's why fire trucks are painted red, so they will go faster.
All Corvettes are red, the rest are mistakes.

"Red That's why fire trucks are painted red,"

Fire trucks are painted yellow on military bases. If it's good enough for your military, you better believe it must be faster!


Yellow of course!

Do you think it is simply by chance that Lance Armstrong chose Yellow as his Team colors? He knew it was the FASTEST COLOR!!

Black!!

Like the night.
Nothing is faster than the speed of dark.

And like Zaphod's glasses that turn dark at the first sign of danger.

The color you don't see.....a blur.

I'd like to vote for Spiral Gray, but hey I'm bias. We blend in with our surroundings and you don't see us coming or going.

Thus why I keep my headlights on during cloudy days, we blend in with the road too much
