Psychiatrists analyzed the favorite car color of more than 1000 motorists to determine how it reveals personality. Here's what the study reveals about YOU.
• Brown: The choice of a cautious, conservative, often introverted personality likely to drive the good bargain.
• White: It's the choice of a neat, compulsive motorist who can be both critical as well as fussy. The first choice of doctors - and drivers who are reliable, aloof and very methodical.
• Blue: You like consistency in your life. You're likely to be conservative, shy, and introverted. A team player who's sociable and friendly but lacking in imagination.
• Green: A hot fashion color that puts an emphasis on the environment, but the deeper the green, the more conservative and traditional person you are.
• Teals: The choice of a trend-setting extrovert who craves attention and desires admiration.
• Neutrals: The colors of non-commitment and chosen by someone who doesn't want to be conspicuous or stand out from the crowd.
• Grey: Expresses understated good taste and indicates a safe and cautious driver.
• Metallics: Chosen by confidant yet understated extroverts.
• Silver: You have great style and are often successful - but you tend to be pompous.
• Black: The choice of a serious, self-confident sophisticate. First choice of the ambitious and success-driven who see cars as status symbols.
• Yellow: The hue for active, artistic people and the individual willing to try something new.
• RED: You're outgoing and impulsive, but easily bored. On the bright side, you think and stay young.

RED - and very true, but it is a dark red like a good wine so should add sophisticated to the description.

so what does this say about me?
I am conservative,shy and introverted with outgoing and impulsive ????

But I must say that they are quite true, as some times I feel like withdrawing from the world and sometimes want to take it on.

Like the keep young bit!

My car is black, and I'd like to think that were true.

I think I am success driven but I do need a bit of a kick up the arse to get me going!

Dunno about sophisticated though...

What a load of bollox.

I've had red (4), green (3), blue (4), white (2), brown, burgundy (3), black, yellow, gold, silver (2) and isopon/rust (3) and throughout that time I have consistently remained a miserable bad tempered bastard.

My car's metallic blue. I seem to be an introverted extrovert...

I just thought the colour looked good, but now it seems I have 'issues'. Great.

Okay - so it relates to residual value that motivates you, that would make you:

• Brown: The choice of a cautious, conservative, often introverted personality likely to drive the good bargain.
