White Is The New Favourite Car Colour by BizBooks(m): 10:39am On Oct 24, 2013
After more than a decade as the world's favorite car color, silver is falling in popularity
to white. PPG Industries, the leading supplier of automotive paints, says 25 percent of
the vehicles it supplied in the 2013 model year were white, up 3 percent from the prior
year. Silver and black tied for second, with 18 percent each.

White dominates in Europe, North America and Asia. Only in South America is silver still king.

In the course of shipping cars to Nigeria, all the clients I dealt with had one thing in common.
They all say "You can get any colour as long as it is not white". So this will never happen in
Nigeria.

The white trend is fast catching up in Naija.
If I will own a white car it definitely will be a coupe and not an everyday car.

My friend just bought a 2008 accord in white color, it looks neat and even more expensive than he paid.

And the Nigerian ideology is that white cars are cheaper lol. Pearl Black still stands as the best automobile color in my opinion

In the past, I have tried to find out why Nigerians hate white so much and here
are the answers I got:

1. White cars are used by people in Secret Societies (I don't know what to say)
2. White cars easily get dirty due to dusty and muddy Nigerian roads

The second explanation sounds more plausible.

@Stelaar,

You are right. Some Nigerians believe white cars are cheaper. Not so.

I have a dream...

Of a road where white colored cars would not be looked upon as being the favorites, where every car of every color, be they white, black, brown, or silver, would get to park in the same parking lot.

All White errting my Nigga... grin




All my future cars will only come in 2 colors;

Candy White
&
Light Grey.



Reason: White cars emphasize the details of a car. The chrome shines better, the black details all stand out and when time for a rerouch of the paint job comes, its easy to find and replace..

Most mass transit vehicles and pickup trucks come in white.
These are responsible for a lot of sales
