What Your Car Color Reveals About Your Psyche - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

This article says if your car is painted black you have the lowest confidence level. I don't agree with this article at all. My car is bright yellow. I like having a rare color car.

http://finance.yahoo.com/family-home...ut-Your-Psyche

People whose car is: Have confidence that is:
Emerald green 5.5% above average
Dark blue 3.2% above average
Silver 1.2% above average
White Average
Sunny yellow 3.7% below average
Orange 4.1% below average
Bright blue 5.5% below average
Bright yellow 8.3% below average
Red 8.8 % below average
Black 14.6% below average

Since the folks at CNW got a range of answers for each respondent over time, they were also able to calculate the "moodiness" of drivers—how widely their confidence varied from one extreme to the other, in the course of a year.

Sedate colors, not surprisingly, correlate with consistent moods. But if a primary color suddenly fills your rear-view mirror—well, it's probably best to get out of the way:

There are better clinical indicators of mental health, needless to say, but Art Spinella of CNW says car color can be a useful "people-matching" too.

More moody colors account for about 17 percent of cars.

People whose car is: Experience:
Black, dark blue,
or silver Consistent moods

White, sunny yellow,
or bright blue Modest mood swings

Orange, red, bright
yellow, or
emerald green The most pronounced mood swings

I guess everyone should have a white car and movies should be made in black and white

apparently 5.5% above average emotionally stable people, with 9.75% below average comprehension of style.

I guess I am all screwed up, I haven't decided if I want an Orange one or a Black/Gold one.

Too funny. Sounds like these folks have nothing better to research. For me, 1 red car, (C6) and 1 bright orange Jeep with bright yellow frame and roll cage. I just like them bright and fun!
