I noticed that all our cars at work were either black or grey. It looks odd. Where did all the colourful cars go. ( There's a red one just out of shot to be honest )
IMO, people who buy dark coloured cars are stupid.
- We're in Australia, where the sun be fair beaming and dark colours soak up heat way more than a more reflective|lighter colour
- Visibility of dark cars is worse because they blend in to the bitumen and concrete background at the best of times
- Whenever conditions are poor (rain, fog, dusk, whatever) it's by far the majority of dark coloured cars driving along without headlights on. My unscientific observation is that 90% of the cars you see in poor visibility without lights are dark coloured in any car shape. The other 10% are Toyotas which is probably because they have a dash that's always illuminated which makes it less obvious if you don't have your headlights on.
- Dark colours look dirty about 4 seconds after washing them so you're either constantly wasting water shining up your piece of coal, or you're driving around in a dusty old bit of charcoal.
