Default Silver loses its long-held top spot as the most popular car color.

http://autos.yahoo.com/articles/auto.../412/white-hot
After seven years wearing the color crown, silver has been dethroned.

For the first time this century, more white cars were manufactured in 2007 than those in any other color, according to DuPont’s most recent color study.

In North America, 19 percent of vehicles manufactured in 2007 were either white or "pearl white," which is white with an iridescent or metallic sheen. Eighteen percent of 2007 vehicles were silver, and 16 percent were black, including black with metallic effects
Personally, I'm a fan of Dolphin or Charcoal-Metallic grey.

at least beige isn't #1... I personally think it's the least flattering color.

There was a beige Ferarri 612 rolling around here for a little while... it looked disgusting.

I'm partial to black.

Some people think I'm black when I talk on the phone.
