Default What color cars do you hate?

I hate ANY car in silver which is the most popular color sold across the car spectrum. The next color I don't like is white (but I think vettes look good in white). Black I think looks good on anything. If you have a silver vette, don't hold it against me. I have yellow which is my favorite. Some people hate yellow.

It depends on the car. I'm not a huge fan of white, but a buddy of mine has a white GS with black and red interior and red fender hash stripes.

That car is sharp.

Different cars/shapes do well or suck with different colors.

p.s. I hate pink cars.

It seems like 80% of the cars on the road are silver, gray, black, beige or white. I like my cars a little more colorful. But the Vette looks good in any color.

That is me with Black. I love black on your car, but not on mine. Black looks great for five minutes or five feet - which ever comes first - then it needs detailing again! (Except for Wolfdogs - he can get 30 minutes or 30 miles!)

I agree. I once had a black sports car.

Once.

Most are okay with me but I would never buy white or Eco friendly green.

I don't really hate any color, I like some more than others and really do like silver, blue and white but my least favorite would be black. That said, I have an Inferno Orange GS convertible that in my opinion looks the best.

Not a hater . . . But I find white or grey cars somewhat tedious. That's grey, as opposed to silver. Frankly, I prefer colors!

Black is way too impractical for a driver, and my cars are drivers.

Never been a fan of Gold colored cars. But put that color on a vette and I'm sure it would look good.

Default Silver

I really don't like silver cars because the millenium really over did it with silver cars ! I guess maybe next is red . I always liked the white and blue combo .
