What does your car colour say about you?

Psychologists have revealed that the colour of your car could say something significant about your personality according to a report commissioned by a major supermarket.

Silver is still the most popular colour so far this decade but is definitely in decline as the number of black and red cars increases. More than 30% of buyers still choose silver, while blue, in all it’s different variations, comes in second at 26%.

So what do the colours suggest about you as a person? The survey suggests the following in order of numbers sold:

Silver: a driver who wants to give the impression of wealth and prestige
Blue: peaceful and serene drivers who value relationships over money
Black: a desire to stamp authority on other road users
Red: passionate and a little wild, likes to take charge of any situation
Grey: a sign of stability and reliability
Green: a conscientious driver who tries to smooth over tense situations
Purple: a self-assured driver with a love of all things beautiful
Yellow: confident and not afraid to let out one's inner child
Gold: a desire to express independence
Orange: a sign of a happy person who enjoys being unique and craves attention

APA would like to know what car currently turns your head. What is the car of choice for the modern PA-about-town?

I drive a red Astra Sport Hatch which I love and from what the survey says it is the perfect colour for a PA; passionate, a little wild and definitely in charge. That's me!

I think it's right. Mine is orange and I really love attention. But then I use to have one that was Kermit Green and I was hardly the calm, sensible type as the survey suggests.

Site is good, thx.

I drive a little red sporty car and I agree with Kate - the perfect colour for a 'wild, in charge' PA!
