Does car color correlate with personal confidence?

Me thinks they have too much time on their hands but do you fit?

They must have interviewed people from another planet, because of the people I know there appears to be a negative correlation between their personalities, their color choices, and that study.

There was only 1 criterion for me when I was choosing a car color: what color will be least noticable to the Highway Patrol. I selected Meteor Grey, as it is the closest color to asphalt, and thereby serves to make the car less noticeable.

You could have had them "paint to sample"...ASPHALT.

I do find myself driving more slowly during the day in my red car. Must be a lack of confidence?

We have another past survey from some other site that says the smartest people buy yellow cars, that was good enough for me...

Perhaps, but according to the illustrious article referred to by Santa Fe people with bright yellow cars have a confidence level 8.3% below average. It is also interesting to note that individuals with silver cars have a 1.3% higher than average level of confidence. In fact, after reading the article I am feeling more confident already . Maybe one day I'll be confident enough to own an emerald green car

I'm not sure that I should write something here. I may not say it correctly or someone may challenge it. Oh, what the he!!. I'm so happy now who cares? Man, today is such a sad day, it's raining. Can you tell what color my car is? The funny thing about that survey is that I find myself to be the complete opposite of what it states and I own a RED car.

Funny, but you need to try harder I think you only got to 8% not 8.8%

I read that people that buy yellow Caymans harbor a desire to join the circus.

I always thought that the good looking women that got their boyfriends to buy them cars (regardless of car color) were the smartest people!

Oh, FUN TOPIC! So all these black "luxury" imports (e.g. Lexus, Infiniti, BMW, Merc) running around Houston really ARE driven by people with below average confidence with consisently rotten moods? They do seem the most obnoxious drivers.

Survey made me feel quite confident in decisions to purchase a Cobalt Blue 911 Turbo last year, and ordering a Malachite Green 2009 Cayman S.
