California wants to get rid of black cars March 27, 2009, 09:05:04 AM CARB trying to get rid of black carsQuotethe state isn't trying to get rid of one of the world's most popular car colors for aesthetic purposes - rather, its the environmental qualities of the color that have the board a little miffed.We all know that white colored cars tend to stay cooler than black cars - this is because white can reflect heat, while black absorbs it. The reasoning behind the proposal is that with lighter car colors, car interiors will be cooler and thus drivers will use the air-conditioning less, thereby reducing fuel consumption and saving the Earth from certain doomQuotePaint companies are deriding the idea as nonsense, saying that CARB are trying to put a simple theory into a difficult application. With the practical benefits of such a proposal difficult to justify, there is also the aesthetic factor. In the place of black cars, the darkest color may be a violet purple, or even an extremely dark brown. Frankly, we can't really see Hollywood getting behind this one. Quote Selected
