The color to choose to maintain the value of the car.

Model: (Various brands) Various
Part: Bodywork

In this video, we see a ranking - obtained from an American magazine - of the average depreciation of cars based on their body paint. Here, it appears that the color that retains its value the most is yellow, but we know that in the Italian market, yellow is a very rare color. Apart from some models that the presenter introduces, which are rightfully iconic in that specific color, according to our experience, the color that depreciates the most is matte black, on which all scratches and small impact damages are visible; in general, matte colors are more delicate, where damages are more visible, although easily fixable. If metallic, white maintains its value over time. Metallic light colors are easily resellable. Unusual colors (yellow, orange, very bright blues, browns) have a lower resale value, so they are valued lower when assessing used cars, like matte black. A different case is green: either you love it or you hate it, but it is not subject to any particular evaluations. Bi-color cars are also not well-regarded when it comes to selling used cars, especially if the color combination is particularly bold.
