How to find out the color

The standard way to determine the color of a car is its label. It can be located in the glove compartment, trunk, on or under the spare tire, and sometimes under the brake light. A document from the “easy to lose” series. The card itself is called Form 3347. The names of the colors of the VAZ 2114, as mentioned, are replete with names not related to color, which is why this document indicates the color number.

If you still have the car's warranty card, it also contains information about the color of the car. In the upper left corner below the VIN is written the number and the actual color in the form: *347 Inca Gold*.

Additional Methods

The colors of the VAZ 2114 have changed many times over the years of production, so it is very difficult to decide on the correct color, but there are several additional methods:

1. Painting plan— changes can be tracked since 2005, when the plant began publishing painting plans. Knowing exactly the production date of the car, you can use the paint plan as a guide and find in it original color your iron horse.
2. Official dealer– professionals from an official service station, thanks to their work experience, will deal with color without any problems. An additional bonus is that they are likely to have the color, and if it is not available, they will be able to order it.
3. Colorist– there are special devices for computer selection paints combined with lines for mixing and manufacturing. A good company that specializes in painting with the help of a gas tank flap will be able to recreate paintwork the entire car.

Color palette

The tables below contain all the factory colors of the VAZ 2114 alphabetical order, with numbers and color examples given:

A matter that requires solving many issues: brand, cost, model... And what color of car is better to choose - sometimes too important point for the buyer. Preferences depend on the age and gender of the car owner. For example, men more often choose plain, strict colors - white, black, gray. Women like bright, rich colors that attract attention - pink, red, orange.

When choosing a car color future driver may be based on different criteria

Color future car can be viewed from a practical standpoint. Light shades, such as silver, sand, white, are easy to clean, and stains and dust are not visible on the coating. But the dark ones look chic, but require careful care, frequent washing and polishing.

Some colors affect our visual perception. The red car creates a feeling high speed, light colors visually increase the size of the car.

Dark shades increase the risk of accidents in the evening and at night.

Psychologists believe that the choice of color is related to character. Let's try to consider this aspect of buying a car: how to choose a color depending on its associativity, compliance different characters. And also the influence of car shades on driving style, road safety factors, and practicality.

White

White is a symbol of happiness, dreams. It is believed that those who prefer white are responsive, neat, fair, but reserved, indecisive, although romantic. White for those who strive for purity and harmony. From a white point of view, lovers of white are careful and choose a safe style. The white color will give the owners of such a car confidence on the highways.

For a car, white color has advantages in that it reflects light, and the car heats up less in the heat, you will feel comfortable in it. It is also clearly visible to other participants on the roads; according to statistics, it is less likely to get into an accident. But in winter the car is hardly noticeable, and in regions where snow lingers for a long time, it is worth thinking about the feasibility white.

It is also worth considering that a polished, shiny white car is very impressive, but maintaining it in this condition is difficult, especially in the off-season.

Black

According to psychologists, black is preferred by aggressive, ambitious people who strive for respect. Sometimes associated with sad, tragic. , according to statistics, this is the most popular color, which seems to demonstrate “additional weight” in society. And the same statistics show: black cars are more likely to get into accidents. It is possible, of course, that this is just a coincidence, because the car merges with the road, especially in dark time.

Dust and scratches will be very noticeable on a black surface. In summer, such a car absorbs sunlight, it will be hot in it.

Grey

Gray color is characteristic of people who want to remain unnoticed and avoid attention to themselves. Usually these are responsible, reasonable people, which is reflected in driving a car.

The disadvantage of gray when painting a car is that it will blend in with the road, especially in the dark. The advantage will be the invisibility of dust and dirt on the surface.

Red

Red is for those who are expressive, brightly emotional, who want to stand out, and who are not afraid of anything. Usually these are powerful people, energetic, hot-tempered leaders, steadily moving towards their goal. They can be selfish and adventurers. Such people are usually characterized by an aggressive style in behavior and driving, therefore they often lose their vigilance and are careless.

As a car color, red certainly attracts attention, but it tends to fade quickly in the sun.

Yellow

This is the color for those who want to break out of the gray everyday life, are open to new things, and look forward optimistically. You rarely see a yellow car on the road, although it looks impressive, even a little dirt and dust does not reduce its aesthetics. If you choose this color, then every day you will have your own sun. Yellow bright cars are clearly visible on the roads, but do not irritate or distract drivers - there is less risk of an accident. Typically, drivers of such cars are confident on the roads and do not create dangerous situations, easily join the movement.

Green

Green is chosen by serious, non-aggressive people who value comfort and convenience, who want to protect themselves from outside influence. Those who prefer green think through and weigh their decisions. However, statistics refer green cars to a risk group, because they tend to change their behavior while moving. In addition, cars are difficult to see against a green background. Green cars are spectacular on the road, although dark green, which is more often chosen, shows dust and scratches, just like black.

Blue

People with a penchant for blue are responsible, calm, do not drive recklessly on the roads, and are ready to help others. Blue car for those who value constancy, rarely change their minds, don’t fuss, and don’t rush. It brings peace and tranquility.

It is noticed that Blue colour girls rarely choose. Owners blue cars often you have to, dirt and even dust really spoil the look.

Beige

A beige car for romantic, dreamy people. The advantage of a beige car is the most practical color, the dust on it is invisible.

Metallic silver

Silver, metal car Suitable for sophisticated, cold people who strive to be above dullness and everyday life.

Orange

Shades of orange are often chosen by those who are changeable, absent-minded, and restless. An orange-colored car is good for a creative, cheerful, optimistic, extraordinary person. But self-confident people who go ahead can also prefer these tones.

Blue

The blue car lifts your spirits on gloomy days. For cheerful, carefree people, it will help you relax and calm down.

A practical approach involves assessing ride and performance characteristics. As for the color of the car, the importance of this factor is ridiculed in the famous joke where a friend asks a woman what kind of car her husband bought. The answer is “Blue!” should show how ridiculous it is to put such a trifle as color in the first place. In fact, each color has not only a psychological meaning, but also a very practical one. Not taking into account the importance of color means making a deliberately worse choice. Let's look at the pros and cons of each color for cars in detail.

White car color

Left - white gloss, right - white pearl

Beige car color

Beige the most practical among all other colors . It is similar to the color of road dust, which, on the one hand, may not be very attractive in appearance, but, on the other hand, provides maximum unpretentiousness, since the dirt merges with the car and it does not have to be washed frequently. Especially in dry weather.

Beige color is the most unpretentious and practical. Contaminants merge with it, due to which you can avoid washing the car for a long time.

The beige color has essentially one minus:

• On the road, cars can look dirty and inconspicuous.

Creamy and ivory colors quite complex. They are characterized by nobility and sophistication, but they are much more demanding.

Ivory car

Their disadvantages:

• Cars can look dirty and inconspicuous (just like the color beige).
• They require maintenance and repair - eliminating scratches, damage, and dirt will be even more expensive in terms of money, complexity, and time.

Car color black

As in the world of high fashion, black is considered the most stylish color in the world of the automotive industry. It is he who best presents this miracle of engineering and design, emphasizing its class and appearance.

The black color of a car is associated with elegance, status, and wealth. However, it is not recommended to paint small cars this color, as it visually makes the car smaller.

How more expensive car, the more important it is to have a discreet and unobtrusive color that will not draw attention to itself. This is the law of the world of expensive things. Achromatic colors are the best choice. Black of them is the most expressive. The clearest silhouette, the most expressive lines - thanks to the black color.

At first glance, it may seem that dirt on a black car will be less noticeable than on a white one. In fact, a dirty black car looks worse than a white one.

This is due to the fact that the “dusty” color of dirt on a black car makes it look more unkempt than the dark, dirty shade on a white car.

Red color

It is a mistake to believe that this color speaks exclusively of the desire to be the most noticeable, of aggressiveness and temperament. Many shades (cherry, red-orange, burgundy) are so rich and dignified that they would be appropriate on F-Class models.

Various shades of red in cars

Pros of red:

• Excellent visibility on the road.
• Is a classic. It is familiar to others and will not shock like pink or light green.
• Democratic, suitable for both women and men.

The peculiarity of red lies in the optical illusion of this color: - visually it seems that the red car is moving faster than it actually is, and that it is closer than it actually is.

Yellow and brown colors

Yellow is complex, but perspective color. If we are talking about metallic shades (Golden Star, Golden Niva, Melon), then this is the choice of elegant people with delicate taste. It looks rich.

Car color green

Despite the fact that this color is the richest in shades (there are 376 shades in the Panton palette versus 116 red or 180 blue), until recently it was rarely used for painting cars.

Minuses:

• Merges with nature.
• Poorly visible on the highway. Green car was visually perceived to be further away than it actually was. However, the active spread of the metallic effect has somewhat mitigated this problem.

Otherwise, this color is neutral, the pros and cons depend on the shade. General rules the same: light ones are preferable for small-sized models, deep saturated - for respectable ones.

Various shades of green in cars

Blue-green colors are one of the best selections for fashionable effects such as chrome plating and chameleon effect. Both of these types of processing make the coating bright, almost jarring to the eyes, which is just right with the calmness of blue and green shades.

Since then, these colors have become firmly entrenched in the automotive industry.

Blue car color

Metallic makes any color more suitable for cars - a color with a silver tint is brighter, lighter, shinier, and therefore more visible on the road. Metallic has significantly expanded the modern palette of convenient car colors. Now you can use dull, complex shades of blue and green that would look pale and dirty without the addition of metallic particles. Today they look stylish and sophisticated. Premium models are often decorated, as they evoke associations with precious metals and stones.

Purple

A difficult choice both for interior solutions and for the car. This is due to the peculiarities of the human eye’s perception of the spectrum segment between blue and red.

Various shades of purple in cars. This color is quite difficult to perceive, so you should be careful on the road in a purple car.

Purple tones symbolize mysticism and mystery for good reason - they are elusive and look faded on the road. The only exceptions would be tones such as Moulin Rouge (bright purple) or Lilac (light purple).

The range of modern purple shades for cars is represented by metallic shades. The pearlescent tint emphasizes the lines of the car and makes the muted color more expressive.

The benefits of purple depend on the shade. The most easy to care for and representative are dark and medium gray-violet, blue-violet. The colors of lilac and lavender are the choice for compact women's cars.

Pink car color

Interesting fact - Italian company Lamborgini absolutely does not paint its cars pink! Although those wishing to buy legendary car There's a lot in this color. Why did management take such a tough position? As one of the regional directors explained, this does not correspond to the spirit of the brand. "Ferrarri is not a Pokemon!" Only branded red, as well as silver, white and black. This does not prevent buyers from repainting their cars pink themselves. However, the firmness of the concern's management in this matter inspires respect and forces us to take a more attentive approach to the philosophy of color.

Pink is one of those shades that, despite being bright and expressive, is a must-have choice. The color is not masculine, and even if the owner is a woman, it is questionable. They see it as cheap “glamour”, a hint of “pop”.

Pink is a very dubious color for a car, associated with cheap glamor and pop.

The only exceptions are delicate and elegant light metallic pink shades, such as Almond. Associated with the color rose gold, it makes no less a worthy impression than gold, white or silver. Deep dark fuchsia can look original and appropriate.

Silver and gray car colors

Silver was and remains popular. It ranks second in prevalence, after white. If you look at the catalogs the latest cars executive class, then it turns out that the compilers prefer to display the product in silver-gray no less often than in black.

Silver and gray colors in cars - quite popular and practical

• Practical. Dust and dirt are almost invisible.
• Universal, suitable for everyone.
• A huge number of diverse shades: from the color of wet asphalt to aluminum.
• Quite clearly visible on the highway both day and night. Worse than red, but better than black.
• Great for hot climates.

The downside is that gray is the least noticeable on the road. At dusk, without headlights, a car of this color is almost impossible to see, so it is not recommended to leave gray car overnight on the roadway.

In 2017, 27% of all car buyers on the primary market in Russia chose silver (17%) and gray (10%) shades. In total, this is more than those who chose black cars - 16%, but less than white ones - 28%. The remaining percentages fell on natural tones, with soft and warm (gold, beige, yellow, orange, brown) more popular than green, red and blue.

Why is orange a rare color and is it possible to make a ladybug out of a car?

The orange color is bright, noticeable on the road, and quite practical. Why is it so rarely chosen? First, the color evokes associations with road and construction equipment, which greatly simplifies the impression of passenger car. Second: orange is a sporty color. Until recently, it did not fit well with a business image.

Orange colors have not been used in cars until recently, but they are gradually gaining their audience

A second life for color is made possible with fashionable modern effects such as chrome plating, liquid rubber, chameleon. Any of these treatments instantly make the orange color more expensive.

For those who are looking for a balance between energy and earthiness, terracotta shades are suitable. Perfect solution for modern everyday B-Class models. It is noteworthy that one of these shades has the paradoxical name Apathy (silver-orange).

Car color "Apathy"

Relaxed, dynamic, active, modern - if you want to achieve this effect, then bright carrot tones are a good choice.

The desire for originality can lead not only to the search unusual color, but also drawing. For example, is it possible to repaint a car with a bee, ladybug, or zebra pattern? The owner is a gentleman, but there may be problems with registering such a car with the traffic police.

Painted cars are striking in their originality, but problems may arise with them when registering with the traffic police

The safest car colors

An analysis carried out by one of the insurance companies of the Russian Federation showed that the least likely to fall into unpleasant situations cars in natural natural shades:

1. Orange.
2. Yellow.
3. Brown.
4. Green.

Obviously the most safe colors- not banal and those that, according to color psychology, indicate calmness, balance and the ability to stand firmly with your feet on the ground. The safest is orange. Although this should not be surprising, because this color is used for construction equipment precisely because it is a signal color.

The presence of green and brown in the rankings of the safest is questionable at first glance - these colors are not among the brightest. But if we turn to the psychological characteristics of color, then this is expected - both of them speak of stability, sobriety, the ability to clearly assess the situation, and at the same time they give cheerfulness, in contrast to cold blue-blue shades, which have a soporific effect.

Most often, insured events occurred among owners of black and silver cars. Such colors are difficult to distinguish at those moments when drivers are most vulnerable - early morning, twilight. 65% of accidents (maximum) occur among owners of red cars, but this is not about the color, but about the psychological characteristics of those who choose such a provocative color. As a rule, these are young drivers who do not have much experience on the road. White is a prosperous color, although it is at increased risk on the other hand: it is white cars that are most often stolen.
