agreed.
I choose a car color by what color I like looking at a car in.
Reds and Blues are my favorite. Silver and Black are sometimes nice to look at, but get tired over time, and black hides details, which can be useful, or detracting.
My car is red, and although I can get worked up a bit, it takes a lot of input to do so and usually is my response to a breakdown of reason, and otherwise I am usually calm and stoic when other people are running around panicking.
My wife, who also has a red car, and red hair, is much more prone to emotional reactions. But she likes red cars. Her NB Miata looks fantastic in classic red.
I think car color only indicates social traits in people who don't take their personal taste very seriously, and allow their personality to dictate their sense of taste, rather than picking colors and designs on design merits, so the correlation doesn't always hold up.
