According to State Farm....either white,black or some variation of grey. This seems to be a trend with that number getting higher and higher ,how long before 90% are this way? Henry Ford might have his way yet. All cars are black.

Most new family cars look somewhat alike.

Impala.accord,maxima,fusion,etc.

Are people losing interest in cars and just want mileage,cup holders,and comunication devices for selfies (facebook). Maybe a good socialist government could just supply us with a vehicle since really no one seems to care much about the different looks. Hillary are you listening? Say 5% more tax and Uncle Sam can furnish us with transportation.

Except for the "toys", all my cars have been white (pearl or diamond) for the last 15 years. Toys, however, All Corvettes are Red, and fastest Prowler color is yellow. Oh, and who wouldn't like a black and silver Harley ...

But to your point, look around when stopped at a traffic light ... that percentage holds pretty accurate

I swore I would never buy another car with grey upholstry. I must have had a dozen cars like that. I'll take any color but grey.

So a black and white checkered tile floor looks the same to you? just kidding. Most people refer to black and white as colors. I think if a cop stopped you and filled out his report and it ask what color was the vehicle he would not write in that it had no color or it was all colors combined.

Good point.

Two non colors must be why they include 3 choices in this foolish statistic. Pick one and then tell us the percentage. They can probably add one more selection to reach 80% of cars are .... What's the point?

That depends on how I precieve them in the intelect department. If I want to screw with them I tell them simplky they are not colors and let the dummy scratch his/her head for a few days until they ask again.

If I like the person I will give them one of the following 3 answeres.

In the visible spectrum, white reflects light and is a presence of all colors, but black absorbs light and is an absence of color. Black can be defined as the visual impression experienced when no visible light reaches the eye.


technically speaking:

In art, white is the absence of all color and black is the presence of all color. In light, the opposite holds true.


Explanation...

Color is the reflection of particular portions of the light spectrum. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo and Violet. The colors that can be seen in a pure rainbow. These reflections are picked up by the optic nerve and translated by the brain into the "colors" we all know.

White is the reflection of ALL the colors.

Black is the reflection of none. When one perceives black there is no perception at all.

Example. If there is a picture of a flag, green stripes next black next to yellow, you see the green and the yellow but you do not see the black. It is nothingness. But since you see the yellow and green in contrast then the black appears to be there.

To sum it up...

White is NOT a color but an equal combination of ALL the colors of the visible light spectrum.

Black is NOTHING but the comparative perception of the surroundings. It can not be seen.


Now it's up to you to figure out if I'm screwing with you or I like you.
