Mine is silver. Silver, to me, is just the most bland color you can get. It's almost never visually pleasing, and almost never accentuates the lines of the car. It's just nasty. So, oppo, what color do you dislike?

For me, I don't care about the color as long as it matches the look of the car.

A New Zealand gov't study a few years ago looked at what is the safest car color.

Answer: Silver, as it reflects the light best and thus can be easily seen even in low visibility conditions like fog, darkness, a snowstorm, etc.

It's also the classic German national racing color (like British Racing Green) and so it works on racy German cars.

Silver isn't my favorite, but it's not my least favorite either - that would be biege/sand coloured.

Not sure, but silver is definitely not a favorite of mine

Interesting.... My parents always buy white cars because they thought that was the easiest to see.

I thought white would be the best too - but it's, like, 2nd best next to silver.

And if you think about it, white isn't very visible in winter when its cold enough to keep the snow melted on the ground - quite the opposite, it's almost like camouflage.

Certain shades of yellow for example: Phoenix Yellow

There's also a pastel yellow that Subaru used to have that I don't like either

Silver cars are really hard to see in foggy, rainy, or snowy conditions, especially when driven by idiots who don't put their lights on in bad weather. Silver gets my vote for least favorite color mainly for this reason. White is a close second, but a nice shade of frost

I always respected Mopar for their zany car colors in the 70s— but I always loathed Plum Crazy. It never looks good on any car, from any angle, in any light.

Beige

Definitely depends on the car, but i would have to say yellow.

Silver's often boring, but at least it's inoffensive. There are some colours out there that could never look good on any car - stuff like the infamous Allegro baby's-nappy brown, for example.

Truly eye-searing colours aside, though, I really don't like white cars. Appliance white is the new beige.

There's a car that looks good in any color. I don't dislike colors, but I can dislike certain color choices

I like all colors but I can't see myself in a pink car not even if it was a '59 Caddy.

Kinja'd!!!

EDIT: There are some exceptions to this though.

I can't fucking stand sliver on everything, and black on luxury cars. Just means you have no personality. IMO I may not pick a lot of colors for my personal car, but I judge anyone for weird colors (Ex. plum crazy) ..... but at least they tried.
