White Hot

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

For the second year in a row, white is the most popular car color, representing 20% of new car purchases in a survey by DuPont (silver and black both account for 17%). I think white looks great on Weston’s GTI, but most of the time, it just seems kinda… vanilla. What do you think? Via Jalopnik

pearl white like on most cadillacs is sweet, and white like on the pic above is only really sweet if its accented with black things like rims and tint. otherwise my color of choice is nissan skyline gtr blue or gloss red.

White is a very easy color to keep clean most of the time , but it doesn’t suite all cars , Mercedes are usually nice in white same as some new trendy cars , Golf GTI , audi A3, and TT,The ever popular old Golf GLI convertible , also some classic American and British cars , but other than that , dark colours say it all …: )

White makes a car look like cheap plastic.

I’m very partial to black cars. With a very nice clear coat, and chrome rims, a black car looks dangerous. And chrome rims looks the best on a black car. But I never really liked all black wheels on a white car, actually, not on any car. Especially flat black. It has to have a polished lip. I like Mercedes cars in white, but black comes first for any car.

In Canada in the winter, white cars turn brown.

White is always clean and looks great with a nice set of blacked out wheels. I personally prefer something a little more original, but you just can’t go wrong with white!

White is nice on certain cars AND IS THE MOST PRACTICAL COLOUR!!!..
the Morau blue on my TT is uncleanable and totally impossible to keep clean for 0 seconds!!!

I got sick of having a white truck, so I put two blue racing stripes on it.

White is definitely good provided you have accents like black. Say, carbon fiber hood & boot lid. Without accents, it’s vanilla at best and certainly look good in a hospitals parking area.

I dont know what it is….but i have a thing for white cars now too! Theres just so much that can be used to compliment a white car. Red rims, gold rims, green rims, black interior, white inerior, red interior, etc. However my next color would be a deep green, the kind of green the mustang in “Bullitt” has. Mmmm sexy.

white looks good because it goes along with just about any other color and it looks really clean

i hate white on regular new cars for the most part!!! good on classic cars because the chrome accents set it off and it looks good on high end cars but on regular cars it makes the car look like its a cheap base model!!!

White is the most underrated color when doing something custom. I think that if you have a white exterior with a bright color interior, like a red or orange, or even black, it gives a good looking contrast, same as with colored graphics on the outside if you wanna do that too. Don’t count whitey out!

White is like black to me. It’s hard to keep clean if you have car for DD.

I’ll stick with silver.

I live in Vegas, dirt is everywhere. My last truck was white and my current is white, I don’t have to wash it nearly as much as my neighbors do with darker colored cars. I’d much rather a midnight blue though.

I don’t know what it is but I’ll only buy (or try to anyways) a vehicle if it’s white or black. Have yet to buy anything black yet though, seeing my ZJ is the first thing I have bought, and the Jimmy I annexed off my dad was white as well, actually his Blazer is white as well. Do you see a pattern here is is it me?

Without a doubt, there is no color in the automotive world that makes a car look “cleaner” than white. I love it. By “cleaner”, I ain’t talkin about the lack of dirt.

I like white, I don’t love it, but somehow I have two white cars and one black sitting in my driveway.

White is actually my chosen color for the next car that I buy.

I’m an easy going type of guy. A car can come in any colour, as long as it’s black.

Steve

Wonder if people know that white is lighter then any other color, because it only requires 4 coats instead of 7…

Pearl Ice White looks beautiful.
Its white, but it has a light-blue glow to it.
