Current North American color favorites are:

18% Silver
17% White
15% Gray
12% Blue
11% Black
11% Red
9% Brown
7% other

White is not the absence of color, rather it is the combination of ALL the colors. Black is the absence of color.

In my book, Red stands for PMS.

Red has the advantage of being noticed by those enforcing laws. White on the other hand has the advantage of being a stealth/sleeper and is preferred by those who although are probably deserving of attention prefer to win without a large fine.

You have to remember they use a red cape when bull fighting to enrage the bull, remember that the next time you drive by Officer Bob Speed.

Besides, red is also used by women of ill repute.

That would be grey and it is a color although some sites show that grey and black are identical. Maybe we should define what a color is?

Mark, white is a color; the sum of all colors. Think of a beam of pure light hitting a prism and the rainbow you then get as in the album cover from Pink Floyd's dark side of the Moon. Black is the absence of color.

Ok, a little more of an explanation: White wins

If you will notice, Red is at the lower end of the spectrum.

Excuse me I might resemble that remark personally I think blue/purple trucks whip up on both red and white.

I had way too much free time on my hands in school (an hour to do nothing but sit), found that site, pretty funny. I guess my light pastel BLUE truck blends into the environment pretty darn well....especially in the snowy months.

Err... So in theory, red trucks absorb blue and green. Another way to put this might be that the color red uses up Ford trucks and MONEY!

But still RED is the dominate color and the color of choice if you want to win.

Talking

I have both a red truck (maroon) and a white truck-- but yellow is the fastest of them all!
