The most prefered colour for Cars in India

I agree to the fact that white is a great colour. However I taxis are only in white colour. That is the main reason I do not like white colour. (I do not like my car looking like a taxi). I guess silver is the most selling colour in any car now a days.

Yes You are right.

Silver is most preferred (highest selling) colour in India.

I personally like Red, simply because it sells less as compared to White, Grey, Silver etc. So the car is noticable from a distance. expecially in bigger cars.

Some of the practical advantages I see are: -

1. I dont really have to struggle to locate my car in large parking lots (we have pretty huge ones in Delhi NCR)
2. When I have to pick a colleague from outside of his/her office they immideatly notice my car from distance because of being red. When the office leaving times are there that is very handy I must tell you as in that traffic it is ipossible to park the car somewhere and "wait"
3. But, by far the number reason: Car looks great in red. As asked earlier in this forum, this is the color that is by far the "hottest and sexiest"

Actually the whole color scheme depends on the car. For eg, majority of Maruti Swifts are seen in Red and lately in white because they are the most marketed colors for that car.

White as other people rightly mentioned are more for politicians because their minds and money are all black so atleast their cars are white ;)

In sleek sedans like skoda, honda civic, etc black color looks very good. although its difficult to maintain in terms of cleaning but a well polished black car looks quite sexy and elegant. It looks quite rich!

I personally have a Black Skoda Laura, a Red Hyundai Accent and a Black Chevy Spark and i think black color looks amazing on a car if cleaned daily.

I second Atman... Each car looks good on certain colors while they dont on certain other.

Like..

The Verna Blue: - Verna and Indica Vista looks very bold in the Dark Blue (specially with Black Windows)

White Scorpio with dark Windows (specially when its a drizzling evening)
