How Your Car Color Affects You

Color affects us in many ways more than we think, psychologically colors trigger how we

think and feel.

There has been a study showing that almost eighty percent of first impressions are based

on color alone.

In the past, there have been rumors that red cars are more expensive to insure because

they were thought to be driven faster.

Although today we now know that insurance companies do not care what color the

vehicle is.

Car Color and Its Meanings

can bother some people.

truth behind them.

psychologically so maybe the different car colors

can affect the way someone drives.
