ken म्हणाले...: I think car color choice varies slightly around the world and the three top choices are silver, white and black.

Don't really understand mixing of pigments. When I go to Home Depot they take a can of white and add a few different other colors in small amounts to produce the color you want. I thought white was a mixture of the primary colors and black was the absence of color.

So American industy is incapable of making black in adequate quantities?

Could one of the worshippers of the exalted narcisstic sociopath kindly explain why it is ok for him to go to Brazil and promise them $2 billion in our Gulf of Mexico but Americans are forbidden to drill, despite a court order? And what happens if the Chinese drilling off Cuba have some kind of accident? Or that decrepit Soviet-era nuclear plant in Cuba has a meltdown?; २६/३/११, ११:१८ AM
Freeman Hunt म्हणाले...: The DC area will be particularly hard hit, as being in a large, black vehicle is a key way of signaling you’re more important than other people.

And richer, after a hit cars can not be black. It will show thru the paint.
Silver is the computers colors so is the most used: "hip"
Then white neutral color.
Blue and red are widely used too.

vbspurs म्हणाले...: There's a car talk show on my local conservative talk radio station, 610 AM. They just mentioned how most Toyotas today, are fully built in US plants. Camrys, Avalons, all the popular models.

But the majority of Priuses are still made in Japan.

So, I know! Those of you wanting cancer lickety-quick, just order yourselves a black Prius.; २६/३/११, ३:४१ PM
