White cars popular
Black cars show elegance, silver represent success, however, people around have fast being driven to liken white cars, as white has become the most popular colour of people's vehicles around the world.

White which has so less takers was symbolic of a bored-routine government like feeling, however, now it is widely being accepted among the people.

It is said that colour of a particular also presents the view and character of the one behind the wheels. A yellow or red car screams that the person behind the wheels is a confident extrovert. While light grey shows an introvert.

Colour and confidence go hand in hand, said University of Delaware psychologist Dr Peter Weil, who charts the psychology of car colours.

In his opinion, having a white car may be taken to mean that one is bland and institutional. But, in a recent study for DuPont, Weil discovered that white has become a popular global colour coinciding with the start of the global financial crisis.

"White is associated with transition," the Herald Sun quoted Weil as saying. Until 2006, silver, which is connected with high status, was the most popular colour and had been for six years.

On the other hand, younger drivers were likely to take risks with smaller cars by specifying bright, attention-seeking colours.
