car color and personality
Australian online Auto Magazine SheBuys says the color of a car speaks a lot about its driver and is capable of affecting your mood as well. With women influencing more than 80 per cent of car purchases, style and color have come to the forefront, and women put the color of a car in the same category as other vital features like performance and efficiency.

Colour expert Rebecca Harkness from NCS Colour Centre Australia says:

“Silver and black colours represent hard working, ambitious and stylish personalities. As fashion is ever changing, so are the trends of car colours. In the next few years, we will see a change to metallic and special FX colours with people taking that extra step to personalise their vehicle.”


The site goes on to advice women on deciding upon a color they ‘really love’ so as to show off who they really are, and there is even a list of colors and what they represent. Scroll down to see what type of a person you are, though we are not sure if it applies to men as well, you can have a look and judge for yourself.
