Blue the new car color of tomorrow

For those of you that are looking for a more vibrant colored car, but do not want to stand out too much, you are in luck! According to an article by Dan Strumpf of the Associated Press entitled "Paint maker PPG sees BLUE as the car color of tomorrow, " silver, white, and black may need to take a step down from the top. PPG Industries says that blue and particularly more vibrant, richer, complex blues will be taking to the roads very soon.
Twenty percent of new cars purchased so far in 2008 were silver according to PPG, white was number 2 with 18 percent, followed by black at 17 percent and red at 13 percent. In Europe, 35 percent of new cars are silver, and in the Asia-Pacific region, 37 percent are silver. The reason its so popular is because it's a neutral color that works on any style car/truck. PPG is sure that blue is up and coming, so you need to get out there buy a new car in blue and start the trend!
