Not being my favorite color, red has always been an annoyance to me. It always irked me that in automotive advertising, red is VERY often the color used to present a product, be it a key chain, a wall poster, or a car itself. Does that really reflect most peoples taste?

I know this is not scientific, but if only the colors listed below were available, which would you choose as your favorite in an automotive application?

Black
Blue
Green
Yellow
Orange
Red
White

A one word answer is sufficient. Thanks for your patience and participation.

Depends on what car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
One color will look great on a car and not so much on another…

Always liked blue for things like cars, but more Grey for houses. Green is a close second for cars

Silver metallic as it's the colour of my '71 914 I've had since new.

But lately I gravitated to various blues including Mexico, and turquoise... but being partially colourblind I don't care about red or green because I usually can't tell them apart...
