Practical Considerations
White: Best for Perth — stays cooler, hides light dust, excellent resale. Shows mud easily.
Silver/Grey: Hides scratches and dirt well. Good resale. Low maintenance.
Black: Looks stunning when clean but shows every speck of dust, scratch, and swirl mark. Gets very hot in Perth summers. Requires more frequent washing.
Red: Fades faster in UV-intense Perth. Higher insurance premiums in some cases (debated). Good resale for sports cars.
Safety Angle
Studies consistently show white and yellow vehicles are most visible to other drivers, particularly in low light. Dark colours (black, dark grey, dark blue) are harder to see at dawn, dusk, and in rain.
Our Sales Data
At NORTH Motor, white vehicles sell 30% faster than average. Silver and grey are close behind. Black sells well but buyers are more selective about condition. Unusual colours (orange, brown, lime green) take longest to sell.
