That\u2019s right, white is the most popular option and we have a few theories about this.Some may claim this is due to car manufacturers offering this colour for free, so people are just trying to save money on their new vehicle, but this isn\u2019t always the case. You may actually have to pay over \u00a3250 just to achieve a white finish on many car models; clearly this hasn\u2019t put buyers off though, as the trend for white cars continues to grow every year.Have you ever looked at your phone and thought \u2018I need a matching car\u2019? Well, it seems this is the thinking behind many new car purchases these days and has even brought about the term \u2018Apple effect\u2019. While white is a popular choice right now, it\u2019s worth keeping in mind that a few years down the line it may not be quite as desirable, making it potentially difficult to sell your car on. Funny to think that a few years ago, white wasn\u2019t even offered on many cars as there was so little interest, now black and white are among the most sought after colours when searching for a second hand car.Silver was the colour of choice in the early 2000\u2019s, peaking in 2004 but was then overtaken by blue just last year which continues it resurgence to this day. As consumers, the majority of us identify colour as a deciding factor when deciding which vehicle to purchase and we really are spoilt for choice nowadays. There has never been a greater variety on offer; from sparkle to pearl, natural to vibrant and solid to two-tone there\u2019s no end to customisable nature of modern cars.Colour is our way of reflecting who we are as individuals – would you rather drive a camouflaged stealth machine or have a car that \u2018pops\u2019 with a super bright, fun colour?"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Latest News","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Cars","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/\/cars\/#breadcrumbitem"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"World’s most popular car colour","item":"https:\/\/smart-motoring.com\/latest-news\/cars\/worlds-popular-car-colour\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
