Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
That's what I did ...Maybe I need to think outside the box and buy two cars ??
BTW, my SRX is grey, but it's the older model as shown. The Stang color is correct.

That's interesting. Where I live, we get some very thick fogs, and I think silver cars are the toughest to see. (Actually the toughest cars to see by far are the ones where drivers haven't turned on their lights.) And white blends in with the snow in winter, and on icy winter roads it's probably most critical to be seen as early as possible since it can take longer to stop. But if you drive a lot at night, white or silver seem like good colors. I can see how red is bad at night. Probably the safest color depends on your environment.There's no evidence for that. In fact what evidence there is, suggests a slight advantage for silver over other colours. See for example here.
I 'm sure one day I will just do it but for now I'm indecisive and luckily the Camry & the Durango are running great .
Sorry to hear that you are having problems finding the right car for you.
But one last try - - how about a Miata? They are pretty popular and I understand they are a lot of fun to drive. If you test drove one, you might like it a lot.
Interesting... I have never, ever picked a car for it's color. I buy the one on the lot that is cheapest. Often there are two of the same model (similarly appointed). In my experience the red ones are always cheapest. I've had a red mazda, a red ford and a red renault for this reason. I don't actually like red cars much....
It's possible that red is a desirable color in a sports car but it doesn't seem to be a popular color in the more [-]boring[/-] utilitarian vehicles I generally shop for.
I have a 10-year-old Miata. It is a fantastic car to drive, but also to own - and the two don't always go together!. I don't know if the 2005-on model is any less good, but I haven't heard anything.But one last try - - how about a Miata? They are pretty popular and I understand they are a lot of fun to drive.

DW has a 2010 Miata which replaced a 1997 Miata. The 1997 Miata was by far the best car we ever owned. Mechanically, it was top notch. We bought it used in 2002 and in the 8 years we owned it, it never visited the garage except for routine maintenance (oil change, battery, tires, etc...). It's a bit early to judge the quality of the 2010 model (which compared to the 1997 model is loaded with electronics), but so far so good.

I usually go with a light color due to the sunlight heat here, but am not that picky about the color. However, black or dark color is out! Up in the PNW maybe, but not here.Interesting... I have never, ever picked a car for its color.
This thread [-]is useless[/-] would be greatly enhanced with a photo.Well after multiple car test drives and endless research I broke the indecisiveness and bought a Honda CRV EX today . It fits my lifestyle and I like the size ( Not too small ,Not too large ) .I kept on coming back to that car so I made the plunge . Plus all the recommendations from board members gave me the push I needed . Thanks everybody !

Color? Bells? Whistles? We need details!
Congratulations!!!
OK...but we want to see the real deal tomorrow.
I love the looks of that car but unfortanetly a two seater is impractical for me . I did have two seaters when I was younger ( pre kids and now grandkids & elderly Mom & large SO)
