"Go-getter types may pick a red car," environmental psychologist Augustin says. Red projects action, power and masculinity, she says.

A red car for a man may declare great status in his world, whether that's finance or law. If it's a sporty red car, it's a way of "flexing muscles on the road," Cooperman says. However, for women, red often just represents confidence and fun.
The red sports car screams, "Look at me!" in every way.

That driver might think he has something impressive to show you -- the freeway equivalent of an exhibitionist,

for KJ:

There's a reason why places like Home Depot display orange logos. Bright orange declares that you're quite comfortable with value and saving money

If you're driving an orange Mini, you're saying, "I do a good job of minding my money," Augustin says. You might skip doing things for yourself (no spa treatments or expensive hair appointments) just so you can focus on value-rich investments.

An orange BMW? You pinched pennies to buy that head turner. "You're sort of tipping the world on edge," Augustin says. You're also not afraid of going against the tide. Orange is one of the least favorite colors of new car

For the Yellows:

If you're driving a yellow car, you may be the human embodiment of that "don't worry, be happy" smiley face we remember from the 1980s. Yellow exudes joy and a positive attitude.

Young people are drawn to yellow, Cooperman says. "Kids in their 20s like brighter colors and welcome trends and color," she says. They like small, bolder shapes and vivid hues. "Bright color doesn't feel like a risk to them."

However, it feels risky to many other people. Yellow or gold cars made up only 1 percent to 2 percent of car colors.

I guess this is more RJT:

Gentler Red - Any of your more blue or purple reds, I call them the 'berry' reds, are just cheerful people. Unlike Fire Engine Red, these folks are more about spreading the sunshine than spreading their image. Consequently, they tend to be friendly and engaging

White:

If you're driving a white vehicle, you like to present a fresh, young, modern face to the outside world. Environmental psychologist Sally Augustin points out that many contemporary brands -- Apple, for example -- are drawn to white for the same reason.

White suggests that you have taste and elegance, says Marcie Cooperman, a professor of color theory at Parsons The New School for Design in New York City. White is also associated with honesty and purity.

Or, it could be that you live in a desert climate and white doesn't absorb heat like black, and you want a car that won't bake you like a human Pop-Tart

"However, white can be hard to keep clean in some regions," Cooperman says. "It's a high-maintenance color." Perfect for high-maintenance people, perhaps?

PMC:

Dark Gray - Like navy, dark gray is about control. They tend more than the navies to 'accumulate' control. In other words, it is not enough to have self control... they crave controlling others, controlling situations, controlling assets. Control any way they can get it.
