Car Color
In some places, car colors used to be a basis for traffic-handling schemes. Color-coding for cars used to be an easy task, much like counting or simply categorizing the cars by the last digit of their plate numbers. Lately, different colors have sprung out; variations to the usual basic hues that have turned out to be quite difficult to even give a name to.
What used to be known simply as blue, Dark Blue or Royal Blue have transformed into shades of blue with names such as Canal Blue from Honda or Westminster Blue and Pacific Blue from Jaguar. The classic Red has taken on such incarnations and monikers as Jupiter Red, Carnival Red, Blaze Red Crystal and Inferno Red.
What used to be just plain old Silver may be known as Viper Bright Silver, Silver Steel or Brilliant Silver for 2006’s Daimlerchrysler. There are cars that have the color Calcite Yellow, Chrome Yellow, Zinc Yellow or School Bus Yellow.
Even the color White has taken on different names and a slight difference in the shade – Ceramic White Pearlcoat, Ivory, Linen White, Ghost White and Bright White.
Black cars may be colored Black Licorice, Black Mica or Lamp Black.
Mary Kay Pink is girlish and young Torch red is playful and striking while Sunset Orange is sober.
