Yes, I hear it has something to do with the paint it self. I heard about this from a person who paints cars for a living.

huh? I thought it was more like red cars stand out more, hence police give more tickets? Or most people who buy sports cars go with red and crash? What are you talking about paint for?

Lol if it was like that trans then yellow car are the same. It's the paint it self the paint cost more.

I also think its a myth since insurance companies don't judge its rates on car color.

Do you even have insurance? Because I've never been asked what color my car is through each insurance company I've had, so I don't know why you'd even ask this.

My FR-S is still in elemental rock form that needs to be smelted into sheet metal first, so I would say it's currently dark metallic grayish brown that sparkles in the sunlight?

I'll probably get flamed for this, but even if they don't offer an orange, I'd probably get it repainted similar to this color.

Wow, a lot of white has been mentioned here. I thought more exotic colors would be suggested, but I guess a lot of people are going for the "clean" look.

my insurance company (nationwide) knows the color of all of our cars

also, this car is definitely going to be rocking some kind of a deep semi-gloss grey. i've had my heart set on gunmetal for a while
