Hi Ralph

There is another side to Car Colours which unfortunately " General Public "
are not aware of.

Colours affect people in many different ways. Colours can agitate people, make
them become violent, cause road rage and many other psychological problems.

When working I have purchased hundreds of cars for employees over a 21 year
period.

Only one employee confided in me that he could NOT have a white car as his son
who suffered from autism became very upset etc when sat in a white car.
Possibly being in a white environment is akin to being in a hospital ward. I
am not sure.

Most of the 21 years, employees had a choice of colour but when there was a
dip in trade that many years ago I had to buy low mileage Secondhand cars for
about one year hence I was told no white car from this employee.

BTW...Black Gloss reflects sunshine more than any other colour BUT
unfortunately just look at a house that has been painted Black Gloss and in a
very short time it will start peeling due to the absorption of sunshine..
