When you head to the best used car dealerships Boise offers, you may already have a specific vehicle in mind. Maybe you need an SUV with plenty of cargo space, or maybe you want a small and zippy sports car. However, even if you know the make and model, you might not have a color in mind. Which should you choose? Does it really matter? There are a few factors to consider, such as resale value, visibility, and how easy the color is to maintain and clean. Here’s what you should know.
Car Colors and Resale Value
When looking at the best used cars Boise residents have traded in, does it matter which color you choose? If you care about resale value, then the answer is yes. Although the color of a car won’t tank the vehicle’s resale value, it can impact it slightly. If you care more about resale value and less about showing off, it might be smarter to choose a “safe” or “boring” color like white, silver, or black.
What’s the “Safest” Car Color?
Does the color of a car impact its safety rating? Although there isn’t a quantifiable way to rate the “safety” of a color, there are some things to consider. Namely, some cars are just easier to see in most driving conditions. A white car stands out, while a black car may blend in, especially at night. While yellow may not be your favorite color, it’s easy to spot on the road. Additionally, orange and gold colors are highly visible. If you want to maximize your car’s visibility to other drivers, consider going with a brighter color.
Some Colors Are Easier to Maintain
Gray and silver are considered two of the easiest colors to clean and, thus, are common car colors. These colors hide dirt and dust well, helping your car look cleaner for longer. White is similar, but it will show mud and dirt more than gray or silver. On the other hand, white hides swirl marks from car washes much better. Interestingly, green is also fairly easy to keep looking clean. Orange and yellow both hide dust and pollen but don’t hide mud well. If you like to go off-roading or just don’t like washing your car often, consider any of these colors.
Other Colors Are Hard to Keep Clean
On the other hand, there are a few colors that seem to show every scratch, swirl, and speck of dust. Black looks good on just about any car, especially right after it’s been cleaned. But give it a few hours after a wash, and the sleek color will start to look a little dirty. Red is flashy on the road and does hide mud easily, but can quickly become dull as dirt, dust, and pollen cover it. Blue cars may be popular, but they don’t hide water spots well. Scratches and swirl marks are also easy to see on blue cars. If you value having a spotless vehicle, you might want to stay away from these colors.
The truth is, there are no right or wrong colors—it all comes down to your personal preferences! Keep these factors in mind as you shop the selection at your local Treasure Valley dealership!
