Most of you would agree that white is the most common colour that you would find on Indian roads. Is buying a white car worth it? We know it has many advantages, the major one being a very good resale value, but it also has some major cons that come along. Have a look at why your next car shouldn’t be white!

Check out Why Is White The Most Preferred Car Colour In India? Explained!

1. It’s a Boring Colour
   

   

   Even a Palisade doesn’t look exciting anymore if we look at the white shade. White colour usually gives you that feeling of being a retired professional who is going to cruise at 50 forever! I do not mean to offend anyone, but if you are young and have a colourful personality, your car should reflect it, right? A car defines its owner very well, so make sure you aren’t called boring at parties just because you own a white machine!

2. White is too common!
   

   

   Just imagine how many white cars you spot daily while you are on your way to your workplace. The most common colour that you would find on Indian roads is white. This is why people say that white cars have a higher resale value because they have a huge customer base! We can bet a white car will not rest in your garage unsold for even a week! On the other hand, this means you are a part of the crowd. If you want to stand out, white isn’t your thing, for sure!

3. Mud and Dust Magnet
   

   

   A white car can turn into a brown car in no time! Putting this in simple words, a white car is a dust magnet! It attracts dust and mud so well that you might be unable to clean it yourself after a rough trip! In your daily routine, too, white cars require more care. Have you ever seen a detailer showcase a white car in their studio? We bet you haven’t because detailing a white car to every small factor is one of the most difficult tasks on this planet!

4. Visible Paint Damage
   

   

   Just imagine how long you could maintain your car without a scratch on its surface. Now, think about it. Even a minor scratch given by, say, a yellow or a red car will be visible on your car’s surface till you don’t get it treated! Collecting such incidents, your car in white will look more like an artboard when you buy a new one! Fond of driving an artboard? You can buy yourself a blank canvas!

5. The Sarkaari Gaadi Feel
   

   

   Whether we look at Ambassadors from the past or Ciaz and Dzire from the present day, we can surely conclude that almost all the Sarkari gaadis are white in colour! Apart from that, every taxi you see (excluding the kaali-peeli) is white in colour. Do you want to mix in the crowd of taxis or be a part of the minister’s convoy? We guess you don’t want either of them. Another reason to steer clear of a white car!
