Silver
The metallic gleam of silver shines bright with innovation. Think stainless steel appliances and silver technology. It's the color of security and style, Cooperman says.
A silver car color indicates that you're a high-class lady or gentleman with an eye on the upscale, Augustin says. Your status is higher in the world, and you're not afraid to show it.
"As a fallback color, it's nice," Cooperman says, because it doesn't get as dirty as a white car or as hot as a black car. It seems most Americans would agree with that assessment, as it's the third most popular car color.
Strangely, no commentary on silver being the "Fastest" color...hmmm
See your color

White = honesty, purity, fresh, young, modern?? B.S.
White = that's the way it came.

This is a re-emerging line of inquiry in the areas of rhetoric and communications studies. Their 2014 semiotics conference is all about the semiotics of color.

But, I still bought the car because it was a good deal and in good shape. It just happened to be blue.

I think you're on to something RAP. The question is, if you were placing an order for a brand new car, so that condition/price was not an issue, what would be your preference.
My dream Porsche would be Arctic Silver with a bright red interior.

I've had 2 red cars, neither was a great experience. The first one I lost my shirt on resale, the second one killed 4 deer (2 simultaneously).
I'll stick with Silver,
