And if you live in a hot place a dark car is a bad idea.

  Yep, 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.

  If 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.

    Now we need to figure out the right color for a place that gets both hot and cold.
