Is Car Color Important?

Classic neutrals—white, black, gray, and silver—remain most popular and typically safest for resale. Bold hues can stand out, but niche colors may shrink your buyer pool later.

Car Colors & Resale Value

Choosing a highly sought color can help when it’s time to sell your car. “Off-trend” colors can accelerate depreciation depending on segment and market.
