The neutrals win again! Silver just works with anything.

needs more yellow...

I love a dark yellow, ala Z06

I feel the Evo has an ugly yellow though, and that saddens me:(

can't go wrong with black though!

[krazy skwerel]

I am suprised blue didn't have a higher rank.

[rydwhite]

Woo Hoo, bright red is number 9. I love being in the minority.

dark yellow? isn't that an oxymoron?

i was always a fan of the primary colors. And darker tints of silver, or charcoal grey.

[Altiman94]

silver is pimp, like my 240!

[Megaseth]

w00t! im in the lowest minority with dark red! well, kinda, cause i have white too. oh well, majority is red! i still like that dark red nissan used, i think i'll stick with it wheni repaint the car.

yeah probably, I was referring to a less pastel looking shade as seen on the Evo VIII and Lancer, it looks like a damn easter egg:(

they have a really nice blue though!

[elwesso]

Im kinda surprised..

I always thought red was one of the most popular colors...

oh well, I dont really like silver (too easy to take care of and doest look as good as darker colors, IMO)... LONG LIVE CRIMSON PEARL!

[Turb0wned]

i thought red and black would be over grey and white

[Megaseth]

elwesso, HELL YEAH! LONG LIVE CRIMSON PEARL! I think its one of nissans best colors.

Think about cars that aren't sports cars or sporty cars for that matter. IE, you will see more white and grey minivans than red and black. Also, trucks I see are usually white or black, not red

Of course there are a few exceptions, but not the majority

The color is not important to me, per se, but I do like some specific colors. In my M45, I wanted the Garnet Fire, but what the dealer had (with the minimal options I wanted) was the Brilliant Silver. So that is what I now drive!

My car is Silver and it is a timeless color. It doesnt get old like some color schemes. When I think of Silver cars, I think of Mercedes and BMWs.

in my 4 years of high school and two years of college..ive learned this. "Fact: 9 out of 10 girls between the ages of 17-25 who drive a silver car have been designated with the title of hottness!"

the theory is bulletproof..check it out..lemme kno wut u think.

I think sometimes the style of the car greatly effects the color or the color effects the style, just because it looks good on this car doesn't mean it will on that one........just a thought.

Silver works well with a lot of the edgier designs out now. Its a good way of showing off creases on a Cadillac XLR, for example, or the muscular fenders on an SUV.

I prefer dark green, dark red, and white pearl.

[Mr1der]

Firm believer in black power!

and really nice blues, I'm a sucker for yellow and bright green on certain cars though
