Red is optimistic, festive, passionate, unrestrained, and intense. However, in daily life, few people drive red cars.

Why? Some even mention wanting to buy a red car, only to be told by the older generation that they shouldn't. Can't they buy a red car?

Of course, the answer is false. You can buy and drive a red car. Otherwise, would wealthy people buy and collect classic red Ferraris? However, the color of red cars is too bright. Except for some models that can handle red well, most red cars don't look good, and red easily attracts attention. Wherever you go, it will become the focus of attention.

So why do many people believe you shouldn't buy a red car?

1. Superstition

Some older people are overly superstitious and believe that red, resembling blood, might make accidents more likely. But this belief has no scientific basis; it's just psychological at most. It's advisable to trust in science.

2. Not dirt-resistant

Only white, silver, and gray are relatively dirt-resistant among all car paint colors. Red cars look very eye-catching when they are clean in the dealership, but once you drive them on the road, they quickly accumulate dust. After a few days without washing, their appearance significantly depreciates.

3. Not enduring to look at

According to a study by relevant institutions, consumers' aesthetic preferences for car colors are cyclical. Colors like red, blue, and yellow can become tiresome after a while, and over time, car owners might find red unattractive or even develop a sense of aversion towards it.

4. Strong sense of mismatch

In mainstream perception, bright colors like blue and red often appear on sports cars or performance vehicles because they complement the attractive design of such cars. However, most ordinary family cars don't suit such colors well, and driving a red car on the road might seem odd and create a strong sense of mismatch.

5. High repair difficulty

Most red cars on the market use metallic paint with a more substantial gloss. This type of paint not only has high manufacturing costs and difficulty in color matching but also demands strict requirements for painting techniques. Once the vehicle suffers scratches or dents, repairing the paint to a perfect match is almost impossible.

6. Poor resale value

The color of the car paint often affects its resale value. Generally, mainstream colors like white, gray, and black have the highest resale value, while bright colors are usually difficult to sell. Used car dealers might offer a few thousand dollars less for brightly colored cars.

In summary, red is a vibrant color suitable for people of all ages and genders. When choosing the color of your car, don't worry too much about various opinions. Just select what you like. After all, if you don't like it, you can always change it. Nowadays, changing the color of your car is legal as long as you report it.
