Car shopping is an exciting experience, especially if you’re getting ready to send your kids off to college. Maybe you want to help them pick out a car so that they have safe and reliable transportation to get around town or to travel home on the weekends.
As you all travel from lot to lot or look at sale ads online, pay attention to the color of cars your kids focus on. Why? Because the color of car you pick can say a lot about you.
Solid White
White is one of the most common car colors on the market. For every bright red sports car or black SUV you see on the road, you’re likely to see two practical white sedans. People who seek out white cars usually don’t care about their vehicle making some big statement and just want something to get from point A to point B. However, in some cases people prefer white cars because the brightness and visibility of the color can positively affect the risk of auto accidents.
There’s nothing wrong with a practical, minimalist approach to car shopping and going with a white vehicle. It’s a calm, sensible choice and one that everyone can feel good about.
Bright Primary Colors
When trying to figure out what the color of your car says about you, you may notice that people with really vibrant colors have a bright personality to match. Primary colors like red, blue, and yellow all pop and give an impression of high-energy. However, those that drive blue cars, especially darker blues, are more laid back and don’t sweat the small stuff.
Unusual Secondary Colors
You don’t really see too many new cars in the secondary colors like purple, green, and orange. It’s not because these are bad colors, but because the people who gravitate toward those colors for their vehicles are less common. They tend to be creative individuals who seek to express themselves outside of the norms of society. If you have a creative kid who seems to want to find something in the secondary color spectrum, it may be smarter to find a reliable silver vehicle for a paint job.
Finding a vehicle before sending your kid off to college is a chance for them to look for something that helps them express their personality. If you notice your kid seems drawn to blue cars over white or silver, it can help you understand how they’re feeling and what they might be hoping to find.
