Car colours

[Roger Jones]

In the FT Weekend Magazine on Saturday there is a feature on car colours, derived from a DuPont survey. Below are the % stats (NAm = North America). It has also been said that silver cars are less likely to be involved in accidents than those with other colours (U. of Auckland research). Make of it all what you will.
