Although white hides dirt best, many car owners in Singapore still choose black as the preferred choice of colour for their car. In fact, Honda dealer Kah Motor and Audi dealer Premium Automobile have reported that black is still the most popular colour among car buyers.
A black car spells mystery, lustrous and an unassuming character. However, it also means that you have to take good care of it. Scratches and dirt are made more obvious on black than any other colour.
Car buyers are willing to go the extra mile for their preferred choice of colour as they believe it portrays their personality. A cheerful person, for example, may choose a bright colour to represent him.
