What do you think the most common color is ?

I see a lot of silver everything on the roads, especially German cars. Silver is the most popular color among all car makes as I recall. This is why I have a strong opinion about not owning another silver car of any sort...

Of course, the one pointing the finger must remember that three more point back at himself (Chinese Proverb).

I own two black cars, and that's a very popular color and moreover, it was the only color car a person could buy when Model T's were the only vehicle on the road. So my gripe doesn't hold much water.

I will say this though—silver hides a lot of dust, dirt and swirl marks :dance:

You are right, Randall. My arctic silver Boxster never looks dirty.

Is that about the color of your car, or because you are a meticulous owner?

My black Boxster never looks dirty either... I simply do not let it get that way!

PS - Sure did miss all you local folks at the PCA sponosred event last night... free beer at a brewery, plus all the pizza you could eat to go with the beer, plus great Porsches to look at. One of the long-term members of the PCA just took delivery of his dark blue/tan Carrera S and brought it over. It had 800 miles on it and was just a month old. Gorgeous!

That dark blue is gonna be the color of my next Porsche... which will also be very hard to keep clean, but worth it!

Silver was the color for the prototype Boxster and I believe it is the international racing color for German autos. Silver does not show dirt as much as a dark color like black, it isn't too bland for some folks (like white) or too flashy for other people (like speed yellow.) If Goldilocks was choosing a Boxster, she would find silver "just right".

I just wish Arctic Silver wasn't so common. Although I have to admit that having an Arctic Silver car made it easier to find a matching hard top at a good price.

white is the farthest from bland! funny thing tho....you want to know how to tell silver is the most popular, wait for a new member to post a pic of their new boxster, if it's silver, everyone jumps out with great car looks like mine

any other colors get a luke warm response....that's what I have observed anyway....I LOVE my white, I refused to get silver like Randall although Perfectlap has a great set up with the silver red combo....

my choice is white, yellow, then its a toss up.....
