Choosing the right car color can be quite disconcerting. For one, once you've picked the color, it would be very difficult to replace it, not to mention costly. Also, you'll have to live with your decision for quite some time if you chose to pay the car through installments.

To find the perfect color for your next car, Philkotse.com has gathered the following factors to consider on how to decide the perfect color!

After you've made your decision, visit your nearest car dealer to ask for color options and potential discounts if you select a particular color for your vehicle.

Industrial Colors - Topping the List

According to surveys, the most popular color for vehicles, in general, are neutral colors such as grey, silver or beige. These colors top the list and are a reflection of our fascination with all things mechanical and industrial.

If you look at the current crop of iPhones, Macbooks and even popular technological gadgets, the popular colors for these items are neutral and industrial colors as well.

It also helps that these colors hide minor hairline scratches and dust really well, reducing the need to head on over to the car-wash every so often. These colors also hold well with wear and tear as opposed to the traditional or radical colors.

White and Black - The Old Guard

Historically speaking, White has been the most popular car color, signifying cleanliness and purity. You can most often find this color in Japanese cars.

White also has the advantage of reflecting sunlight during the summertime, thus reducing heat when left out in the sun. Unfortunately, as evident from the crop of Taxicabs in the country.

White doesn't hold well against the elements. They can hide slight scratches but something deeper than a hair-line can expose horrible marks especially if your paint primer is anything but white. Make sure to study carefully about the pros and cons of a white car before taking home one.

Black goes neck in neck with white when it comes to popularity as the color exudes a sense of luxury and class. Everyone who owns a black car can attest to the beauty and stunning looks especially right after a good wax and buff.

Luxury European cars and presidential vehicles look out of place if it doesn't come in a black hue. It looks good after a good car wash, but the problem starts the second you roll out on the road.

The slightest handprint or dust lint can ruin the entire look of a black colored car. Minor swirl marks, something you don't even know about in other colors is very apparent in black vehicles.

If you hate detailing your car at least 3 times a day, it's best you leave this color to those who can afford chauffeurs.

The Rest - Bright and Earth Tones

You then have the rest of the color spectrum. Red, Orange and Yellow colors, are great choices for your car but the police seem to have their eye out for these vehicles, so get ready to stand-out.

Blue, Teal and Green Colors are for those who also wish to stand out but not so much.

Just keep in mind that in selecting your car's color, the most important factor should be your own personal preference. We can talk about the pros and cons all the livelong day but as earlier stipulated, you get to live with that color.

If a car represents your personality, is practical, garish or plain, as long as you park your car and look back at it all the time, you know you've made the right choice.
