 I have read this before and then again just recently. The idea that the color of car you pick determines your personality. Here is one of many references.

 What if you have more than one car and they are all different colors? I have a silver car,a red car and a blue car. Honestly, the last car purchase was the red car. I didn't really care what color the car was( unless it was yellow or pink). I  went with whatever model I was shopping  and color wasn't really a serious consideration for me. Do you seriously look at the car color if you like everything else? Do you feel that your selection of color says something about you personally?
 
 Maybe I liked the color without realizing it. When I think about the colors I don't like, things do get a little more narrowed down.
 
 Then I tried to imagine what color of car some of the CH would drive.

Charcoal Grey.
And yeah, If I don't like the color and/or interior color I'll look for the model with the color I like.

To me, a car color really can't determine a personality......even I can't determine that.
 Since I've been living in places of extreme heat, I've tended to buy cars in colors which don't attract heat i.e. dark colors.  
 
Although my newest ride sort of changed my personality.

The last time I went "car shopping," which I loathe, I was asked by one superlatively brilliant salesman what color I would like.  This was before we started discussing options and features of a particular model.  I looked at him like he was a condescending idiot who didn't realize that I wasn't a naive backwoods country feck and turned around and walked out of the dealership.
 
I've also been known to bring along my dog when I go car shopping.  Some of them won't let the dog in the test drive.  Some of the car salesmen my dog didn't like (he had very discernable taste in people!).  when those things happened, I walked out.
 
color is only important to me when all other items are equal.

*Pfft!*  Everyone knows that color is the ONLY important aspect when buying a car!
 
And, since I used to be an introspective, reflective and cautious driver, this was my choice:
 

 
Then I moved up to the Pacific Northwest and, not wanting to be called a Californicator and have people throwing rocks at my car (an actual "fear" propagated down in So. Cal. by mean Pacific Northwesters), I became a bit more calm, sober and dedicated to my work with my this (which still has some blue in it):
 

 
When the brown stuff hit the financial fan, I ended up going cheap (and, yes, I was pretty hysterical) with this:
 

 
Then that clunker died so now I don't have a personality 'cause I don't have a car.
 
(Disclaimer:  The Lexus picture WAS my car - see "proof" below - the others are images I found of a 2003 Highlander and a 1992 Camry in the colors I had.  )
 

I really miss driving this...  It had all the upgrades of the 400 except it was an inline 6 not an inline 8.

 Beags I sure never took you for a feck. Does the dog indicate in any way which car it prefers?  That is animal discrimination. They should let the dog test drive.
 
 I try not to let how a dog looks affect my judgement. I'll admit sometimes the Dobermans make me a little nervous. The Pit Bulls are not always cordial either.
 
 If they drop the price by 50% I'll take any color they have.
 
Mesh I love it. Is that a chopped hearse? I kept looking for the Pope in there but I couldn't find him.

 That was a nice Lex Craig. Hope you get up and going with something else soon.
 
 You must be introspective and careful. I love the color on that Lexus BTW.

Alas, the dog I used to take to car dealers to growl and bite the salesmen who were "shifty" is no longer with us.  we had to put him down about a year and a half ago.  but when he was alive he could sniff out any abnormalities in salemen personalities.  he wasn't too good at the test drive anyway, tho, not having depth perception or opposible thumbs tends to hinder your driving skillz.

 Sorry you lost your friend Beagle. I wondered why the last time I visited Texas for a ten mile stretch every time we passed a car lot the salesmen were all missing the backs of their pants.
