How many always get different color new car

I always tend to get a different color when I buy a new car. I guess I just get tired of the color I have. Just out of curiosity, how many of you always get a different color?

My colors:
Acura TL 3G - thinking about buying SSM or ABP
Acura TL 2G- grey (aka leguna green)
Audi - green
Audi - red
Toyota Supra - grey
Camaro - blue
Mustang - red

For me it depends on the car; the style, looks, etc.
Overall, I don't think you can go wrong with Black. :wink:

I always get a different color. I also make sure that I don't get the same color as my wife's car. That goes for interior and exterior.

Since I drove a black exterior and gray interior Honda Accord for 10 years and my wife has a dark blue car with a beige interior, I had to go Anthracite and Ebony. I didn't want to see Quartz for another 10 years inside my car!!!

In certain lighting the Anthracite looks exactly like 2nd generation TL laguna green. The anthracite is slightly darker. Acura's stupid color name always ticked me off in that my registratation says the car color is green and yet 99.9% of people call my color grey. I guess the poll should have included interior colors but I always like the dark colors for the interior.

Depends on the car. My old mustang looks good in its red, but I hated how the TL looked in red. Do admit that black is good all around, otherwise though its the styling of the car that influences the color.

I always get black if I can....If I'm buying new, it will be black. Used, I'm more flexible.

Only had 3 cars, each a different color. The first was used - take what you can get, the second was a great deal (but looked good, too), the third, well, WDP is just the $hit!! With my TL, and going forward, I will get what I think looks good on the car. Certain colors don't look good on certain cars, IMO. I really dig AM, but since my last car was silver, a dark grey was too similar for me at the time...would love one now...maybe I'll get one and park it next to my WDP...
