Bright colours banished as white wins out in a monochrome new car market

An aerial photograph of new cars at Fremantle Port tells the story of modern car colours — a sea of white, dotted with some grey/silver and black, with only occasional splashes of red or blue.

    I’m just a casual observer, but do white cats get visible scratches more easily? And are they easier fix up?

    Some car models look fantastic in white, sort of going for that mid-2000s futurism feel.

      If the scratch breaks the skin of the cat, the blood is more visible on a white cat.

      But idk what the hell this has to do with the article.

      Shallow scratches tend to be more visible on darker cars, deeper scratches are more visible on white cars

      I like white cars because they reflect more heat away from the car in hot, sunny days.

      It depends if it is Flat, Metallic or Pearl.

      Flat White is easier to touch up and maintain. Metallic hides scratches but Pearl is impossible to colour match and any defects are very visible.
