I've ordered a Pepper White Cooper S, black roof. Gone for something a bit different inside ( I reckon that most will spec their PW cars with the cream interior.) I opted for Pacific Blue + Pacific B. Colour-line. I hope I won't regret that!

Can't wait to see that, as I was thinking of the blue interior on the PW, will look great I am sure

Is that a British top 10? I only counted seven. But maybe that's an American seven.

Safe vehicle colours

Have you seen this article that reports on the results of several studies about car colour choice?

Makes for interesting reading. Doesn't say whether most Swedes actually drive pink cars though!

The article also states:
Quote:
A University of California study found that the colour of an approaching car influences the driver’s judgement about how far away it is. Blue and yellow made distant objects seem closest. The grey shades made objects seem further away.

The recommedation of the article is:
Quote:
Generally bright and brilliant colours are much better than dark colours because they reflect a lot more light and can be seen from up to four times the distance of vehicles painted a dark colour.
