Pardon my ignorance....new to the Gulf...just wondering why 90% plus cars are WHITE in color?...does it have something to do with the climate ('cause white color absorbs less heat....)....or some other reason..?

1. Agreed that White reflects heat, but I doubt that it will do much effect on the car as the body is metal and its a conductor.

2. Dust doesn't show much on a white car.

3. Easier to touch up white than any other shade of a color.

4. It has evolved into a choice now. People just go for white cars! I went to one showroom once and they said they order for 50% white cars and the rest 50% other colors.

And with all the dust/sand, it doesn't show as much as it would on a darker colour

atleast want to believe that it's one way of preventing accident with other vehicle since white is very visible.
