Below are the answers to some commonly asked questions to help you choose the best car colour for long term.

Which car colours are considered timeless?

Colours such as white, black, grey, and silver have been consistently popular around the world. While a black coloured car is difficult to maintain, you can easily maintain a white, grey or silver car over a long period of time.

What are the most popular car colours in 2021?

Consistently popular car colours include white, grey, silver and black. However, in 2021, the popularity of bright colours such as green, blue, and orange is also rising.

Does the colour of a car affect the chances of accidents?

Yes, it does. Dark coloured cars are more likely to get into accidents on roads than brighter shades. While white is considered the safest colour choice, black poses the highest risk of accidents.

Which would be a better car colour choice between white and silver?

Both white and silver have their advantages and disadvantages. For instance, white as a car colour is considered less prone to accidents than silver as it stands out. On the other hand, silver hides the dust, dirt and mud marks better than a white one.

However, both colours are popular and maintain the resale value. Hence, you can make the final decision as per your personal preference.
