White colour vehicles are often the standard colour and do not cost anything if you add a colour you may pay $100 to $500 for it. Seeing so many white vehicles may be just due to people with money issues.

- arminiusreturns 4y agoYep, I was living in a hot desert when I bought my current vehicle. Finding a few papers on heat reflectivity based on color quickly solidified my choice of boring white as correct. Silver was a close second in the list, everything else excluding glitter additives was horrible. Side note, if you think of engines as cpus, youll understand my fascination with high quality radiator/radiator fan improvements over stock.
- dghughes 4y agoIf you live in a cool winter climate white colour is bad the metal doesn't get warm enough to drive off moisture. Rust forms more readily compared to a dark car. I spoke to a local mechanic who said never buy white or light colour car (for this region) he spoke with decades of experience.
- vultour 4y agoNow we need to figure out the right color for a place that gets both hot and cold.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoWhen buying a car I found that white/black/charcoal were the standard options and all the fun colours were only available in the sport and premium packages, so the cost difference was much more than a few hundred dollars. Of course you could have it painted after purchase but most people won't bother to.
- spaetzleesser 4y ago"Of course you could have it painted after purchase but most people won't bother to." That's super expensive and low quality compared to paint directly from the factory.
- MonkeyMalarky 4y agoExactly! So now having a coloured vehicle has just become another symbol of status like a nice watch.
