Which colour to choose.

[Marky]

Hi all, I want to buy an MY05 Liberty (Legacy) and can't decide between
Atlantic Blue and Silver. My current car is actually Atlantic Blue but not
a pearl paint.

What does everybody think?

The blue is very nice, but I don't like silver cars. I think they can be difficult to see, blending in
with roadways, and with bad weather.

Gray is the same thing. Once had a friend who was given an old
vette...silver gray. He got hammered by an old lady on a gray, blustery day,
while just tooling down the road.

Silver is the most popular color in Europe (6 years in a row) and
supposedly the safest color:

I have a Silver Impreza TS and think it's a very nice color.

Ultimately YOU have to live with it so get what YOU like.

A nice safe silver

I've always bought used, and by the time they've become mine, all the "silver"
casr I've had had faded to gray. However safe silver may or may not
be, it would be hard to make a case for gray being a safe color.

No offense, but do you let other people decide for you?

No but others could give me some more things to think about (ie I didn't
think of the safety aspect of choosing a colour)

Dark green for me. <G>

Seriously, I can't think of an issue that's more purely a matter of personal
taste than the color of your car. Darker colors tend to absorb heat, which
might be a consideration if you live in a hot part of the world. But you really
are the only one who can decide something like this.

That's not good. Washing serves more functions than just making the car
look good. You also need to remove environmental salts, acids, grime, and
other crap which could damage the paintjob or cause rust on metal
components, or, or..

Don't forget to spray underneath.. that's why I like the touchless
carwashes where you can turn off the wax cycle. It's damn hard to spray
water thoroughly under an STi with a low-pressure garden hose, and you
also don't have to worry about wax being applied to, and gumming up, the
windshield.

Think of it this way: harder for you to see, harder for cops to see too.

I think it's a good trade-off, regardless of how invisible the car turns
out to be in the snow.
