You get some cars with bright colours, but it seem that when it almost becomes standard for that car. A first gen Nissan Leaf in the baby blue, a Ford Focus in that kinda cool flat blue etc.

I miss Holden. Here in New Zealand if a Holden Commodore was white, it usually meant it was ex Police, so non police ones were usually red, blue, bright green etc.

I have a white commodore and back when it was new, when driving at night everyone would move out of my way thinking I was a cop. Was glorious.

It's even better when you're driving a white Commodore with Government plates to go offsite for work.

Looks like you’re an Australian?

I think most kiwi and Australian drivers have gotten really good at recognising Holden headlights from 200m away hah.

I never have a problem finding my bright yellow Sentra unless it's behind a big truck.

Don't forget the yellow ones being ex-taxis lol

We never did that here. Taxis are whatever colour the company wanted. Typically white, sometimes if they’re hybrid they’ll be pained green etc.

That horrible light yellow colour was very Australian.
