Your Car Color Shows Your Personality

In Great Britain there was actually some study done that suggested that the color of your car says something about your personality type. And accordingly, based on your personality type, your likeliness to be involved in an accident (in the UK at least). That research showed that black cars are twice as likely to be involved in crashes as cream-color cars. Whether this is true in the United States is unclear.

Black. Black cars denote an aggressive personality

Silver. Silver has been the most popular car color in North America for the past seven years.

Red. Red cars denote those who are full of passion, energy and drive

Blue. Cars are chosen by the more introspective, reflective and cautious driver

White. White cars represent status-seeking extrovert drivers, white symbolizes innocence and purity

Green. Green cars can often be chosen by people with hysterical tendencies.

Choose Your Eye-Color Personality

Eyes are the window to the soul.
Read the personality profiles below. Does the profile match yours according to the colour of your eyes?

1. BLUE EYES - Blue eyes are the most attractive and the most popular eye color. Blue eyes are a recessive gene so natural baby blues are becoming rare. Since blue eyes are lighter than other eye colors, they attract more attention.

2. HAZEL EYES: Hazel eyes are a mixture of brown and green. These people go with the flow and can adapt to any situation

. GREEN EYES: Green eyes are very rare and instantly hypnotize anyone who gazes into them. People with green eyes project freedom and mystery.
