When people buy a car at Cavalier Mazda, many decide on color before considering what make and model to buy. Before settling on a car color, there are some things you should know. With today’s technology, many colors that once were difficult to keep in brand-new condition, like silver or gold, are now just as easy to maintain as traditional colors. Cars with metallic paint used to require monthly waxing to keep the paint from fading. Now, new coatings and paint mixtures from Ford ensure longevity so you shouldn’t hesitate to select a metallic paint. In fact, silver is now the most popular color on the market because it’s easily visible at night, hides dust, and is calming to look at. That’s pretty important when you’re waiting for the Berkeley Bridge to re-open. White and black cars tend to make our pollen count seem even higher than it is. If you’re concerned about visibility at night, Cavalier Mazda recommends avoiding black or red cars as they are the most difficult to see after the sun goes down. Daylight visibility is enhanced in blue or green vehicles. The ultimate decider: how does it look parked in front of your house? If it hurts your eyes, choose another color.
