How Your Car Color Affects You

Color affects us in many ways more than we think, psychologically colors trigger how we think and feel.

There has been a study showing that almost eighty percent of first impressions are based on color alone.

In the past, there have been rumors that red cars are more expensive to insure because they were thought to be driven

faster.

Although today we now know that insurance companies do not care what color the vehicle is.
