QOTD: What's Your Favorite Car Color?
Today we'll keep it simple. In honor of today's podcast, I want to ask you -- what's your favorite car color?
We've asked similar questions before, but I couldn't find us asking what your favorite is, at least not recently.
At least we've gotten a bead on how the color you choose affects your car's resale value.
Anyway, you know what to do. Tell us whether you like bright colors, or greyscale, or if it depends on type or model of car. Sound off below.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

I discovered that my wife will go for a car if she likes the color. The red on my '10 Sportwagen TDI sold her on that car. She immediately liked the Wilderness Green of our 19 Outback the first time she saw it. I hated the beige on my parents' '72 Catalina. The dark brown vinyl roof didn't help either.
Soft yellow, NOT screaming yellow zonker yellow.
