It\u2019s part of the \u201cwow\u201d factor that attracts you to a car, and if you love the color of your car, walking through the parking lot and seeing it never loses its magic. However, there are some myths about different car colors that may make them less appealing to some. Here are the facts and fiction of car colors. Don\u2019t let urban legends keep you from getting what you want!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Red cars are more expensive to insure<\/b>: Fiction. <a title=\"Used red cars in Jersey City\" href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/search\/used-red\/tp-co1\/s:pr0\/\" target=\"_blank\">Red car<\/a> lovers, rejoice! If you\u2019ve been dreaming of having a flashy red vehicle, don\u2019t be deterred by the thought of rising insurance prices- car color has no effect on your rate.<\/li>\n<li><b>Car color affects resale value<\/b>: This is a mixed bag. For example, if you\u2019re planning on reselling your vehicle a few years down the line, you might want to stick to something more conservative or popular, such as white or silver. It will be more difficult to attract someone who\u2019s willing to buy a bright yellow car. However, at the ten year mark, the color stops having a high impact on the resale value.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"pullQuoteWrapper\" style=\"width: 25%;float: left;margin: 10px\">\n<p class=\"pullQuote\" style=\"font-size: 1.4em!important;margin: 0!important;width: 100%!important;font-style: italic!important\"><i>&#8220;At the ten year mark, the color stops having a high impact on the resale value.&#8221;<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Car color affects the car\u2019s interior temperature<\/b>: Fact. The interior of a black car was found to be about 10 degrees warmer than a white one. However, the difference is kept to a minimum thanks to advances in automotive materials, such as paint and glass, which can help with filtering sun. The interior color has a bigger impact on heat than the exterior.\n<ul>\n<li><b>Some vehicle colors are more visible than others:<\/b> Fact. This is just a matter of a color\u2019s place on a visibility index, but black cars are significantly more likely to be involved in accidents (especially at the dusk and dawn hours).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These are some of the most talked-about factors when shoppers are deciding on a car color at our <a title=\"New Jersey State Auto Auction Hours\" href=\"http:\/\/www.njstateauto.com\/hours-and-directions\/\">Jersey City used car dealer<\/a>.
