How does colour affect your moods?

[Retired]

About colors, I noticed that in the north east cars are mostly dark colors..blue, black, green etc. however in the southeast cars are rarely seen in darker shades and are mostly white or very pale colors.

My personal preference is for light colors...the only color for a car IMHO is WHITE :clap:

Probably has something to do with climate; a dark car in the north might be a little warmer in the winter while a light coloured car in the south might be cooler in the summer.

I'm in love with green for furniture, accessories and the like, but I like my walls a bit more neutral. I love to look at green, I find it very calming. But I like to wear blue, it makes me feel bold.

Dark colors or white cars show the mud and road dirt more, especially in winter. The best compromise is a mid-tone...

 

[Halo]

So what do you classify as mid-tone David? Are you talking beige, grey etc.?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Acceptable mid-tones for cars: grey, silver, beige, tan, etc.

Unacceptable mid-tones for cars: pink, mauve, lavender, yellow, lime green, etc.

What???? You mean the Pink Cadillac is out :sob:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Actually, my sister-in-law (one of them) has a very light pink GrandPrix, light enough to look white in bright sunlight.

She was thinking of trading it in and was basically told that because of the color she'd get about half of what she'd get with a color other people might actually want.

 

[Halo]

But I was thinking more along the lines of the Avon Pink Cadillac colour.....you know the bright pink :lol: are you saying that is unacceptable???

The light pink....almost white I am sure isn't that bad

 

[David Baxter PhD]

I'm sorry. Any shade of pink, orange, turquoise, or lime green is always unacceptable on a car.

 

[Halo]

Are you sure this isn't acceptable??? :lol:

 

[David Baxter PhD]

Oh, it exists. But is shouldn't.

I have seen more than one lime green Porsche, too...

 

[Halo]

I have never seen a lime green Porshe but I'm sure if I looked hard enough I could find a picture just for you :lol: :bad:

I'm sorry. Any shade of pink, orange, turquoise, or lime green is always unacceptable on a car.

[Halo]

TTE,

I might be persuaded to join you in that adventure :bad: oh what the heck that didn't take long to think about it....dang right, count me in for sure :bad: :lol:

 

[HA]

fftopic: Cars have nothing to do with mood and colours.
Sheesh, can't men keep the machine stuff out of the topic of colours even?

 

[Daniel E.]

For painting a room, I prefer any color with a crazy name like "pale celery" or "linen sand." It makes it easier that way to narrow down the many choices.

BTW, don't forget eye-catching quality of a multicolored car.

Cut me some slack here, Judy. I'm trying to distract people so they'll stop nagging me for a purple forum...

Now that you mention it, how about a purple forum? Or a light green one? Or sand colored? :lol:
