    "Black: Aggressive personality or someone who is an outsider or rebel. Of all car colors, this is the most likely to be involved in an accident."

    Black metallic - I guess I'm a rebel with a bit of flake.

    Good one! I have black, gray, silver and blue cars, so I guess I am a severe schizophrenic!

    I hear they're working on "paint-on" flat panel displays. High res may be a few years off, but changeable monotone may be close: dial-a-color.

    If they do get paint-on panel displays, remember the "invisible" Aston Martin? ;)

    I think this list is BS. I would say white is the most introverted, "blend in" color.

    People buy silver because it's so popular and it looks good on sharp edged modern styles. Gray is also so popular now that everyone is buying it - even on many exotics.

    Cream is less likely to be in an accident because it is an elderly color - Lincolns, Caddys, Lexus have those colors.

    Yeah, I'm all about black. And white. My Ferrari is black & 2 of my other sports cars are blinding white. There is something so incredibly pure about a form in B&W.

    So, if I buy a cream colored Ferrari, do I get lower insurance rates?

    :D
