Color Psychology: Does Your Car Color Reflect Your Moods?

Even though I’ve only sort of written about it once here at Mental Health Notes, color psychology is no new thing.

However, if you own a vehicle, you may still find Yahoo! Finance article What Your Car Color Reveals About Your Psyche an interesting read.

According to the article, if you drive a:

• Black, dark blue, or silver vehicle your moods are consistent.
• White, sunny yellow, or bright blue your moods swings are modest.
• Orange, red, bright yellow, or emerald green your moods swings are pronounced.

I’ve owned a few cars throughout my 26 years (and I use the word “owned” loosely, as two of them were gifts from my parents and three of them were co-owned by my ex-husband), and I never really had the final say in the color of the vehicle. Too, it was always a decision that took into account various factors – affordability and availability being the two biggies.

(Case in point: The second car my parents bought me was born from an urgent situation. My first car spontaneously erupted – seriously – and I needed a new one, like, yesterday. So, availability came way before color.)

Needless to say, I’ve owned a variety of different colored vehicles (white, green, red, and two silvers) and I was never the sole decision maker about any of them.

But what about you? Do you think the color of your vehicle(s), both in the past and in the present, reflect your moods?
