What is the fastest colour lude?

We asked the same question on PUK about 6 years ago, and the outcome was that RED is the fastest colour. Is this still true?

Everyone knows red cars are the fastest :lol:

You're right though - for some reason white looks so good on pretty much any Japanese car. I'd love to get my Accord sprayed the same colour as the original Type-R Civic, but a decent respray is so expensive :cry:

this is a stupid vote! top gear have already proved that racing stripes do not make a car go faster!!
it just so happens that the people who have spent the most on engine modds have the fastest cars DOH!
so colour is a pure personal choice and has nothing to do with the speed. i for one would never buy a red car of any make as they all fade and turn pink in the sun, so they would have to go the fastest to save time for the amount of time you would have to spend t-cutting the panels back to red :lol: so the vote needs a new button at the bottom "vote for all the above"

I disagree.
Each colour is made up of light waves.
Different colours produce different frequencies of light waves.
The higher the frequency, the more waves of light the car has to push through to go forward.
Less frequency = less mass of light waves to push through = faster car.

Also

The amount of energy in a given light wave is proportionally related to its frequency, thus a high frequency light wave has a higher energy than that of a low frequency light wave.
This being true, it takes more energy to thrust a high energy/frequency colour car forward.

Therefore

Low frequency/energy colours win

The chart below shows that red has the lowest frequency

White is not a colour, it is a mixture of all colours, so actually carries all of the above frequencies in one!! :shock:

This makes white the heaviest and slowest colour of all. :lol:
