A Guide to Today’s Most Popular Car Paint Colors

For many people, the car they drive is an extension of their personality. Whether you prefer a popular color like white for better resale value or you like the classic look of an all-black BMW, there’s no denying the appeal of certain car colors. Read on to find out where you fit in with the results of the DuPont 2012 Automotive Color Popularity survey:

Classic and clean, white claims the top spot as the most popular color in North America with a 24% market share. Black occupies second place with 19%, and silver rounds out third with a 16% share—not surprising, considering all three are well-known “luxury” colors. Gray, red, and blue fill in the next three spots with 15%, 10%, and 7%, respectively. The least popular car colors include yellow, orange, green and brown.
