Are you superstitious about colours?

You don't want a red Vauxhall Corsa do you chicken? I've got one that I'm looking to get shot of.

Chewbacca--- no thanks! The only time I drove a Corsa, I got painful backache after half an hour.

I once had a racing Green Mini, it got bashed soooo many times, especially from behind. A few years ago I read an article saying that Green cars cannot be seen properly in bad weather. I once got bashed at a set of traffic lights and the driver of the car which drove into the back of me told the Police he did not see my car at all.
I have had many colours of cars but only the green one seemed to be invisible to other drivers.

The only green car I ever had caught fire. I avoid the colour.

My DM persuaded me not to give a green stone in my engagement ring, but I did have a green velvet going away suit. Next month I will have been happily married for 47 years.

I had a nice green Volvo once. It was a good car and I was very happy with it. The children used to call it 'Mum's little tank!' (After Gruber's in Allo Allo)

We have a green Jeep. All the other 4x4s line up next to it. !!!

We had a bright green Lada back in the day. It was built for Russian winters and drove like a tank. It never did wear out but it wore me out driving it as it had no power steering.

don't know Chicken but it sounds very strange, leaf green sounds a fab colour to me.I once had a jade green Escort and I loved it.Logically, how can any colour, flower etc be unlucky?
Anyway, it gives you more space to park in, can only be a good thing.

My mum would never buy green clothes. It was OK if someone bought them for her!

My Mum was married in green (during the war). I don't think she was worried. At one time the colour green symbolised fertility, so was a good colour for brides.

The few accidents I have had have always been in a green car ( not the same one) I decided all future cars would be a different colour. Currently have a lovely bright blue one.

We had a british racing green Maxi years ago. Drove like a tank, no power assisted steering. Just a good workout.
Then we had a green Renault 20. That one aquaplaned on the way to Heathrow. When resprayed, it was a horrible bright green and we soon got rid of it. My going away outfit was a green tweedy mix. Very smart in the day. We have been married 57 years, so something must be alright.

I am not superstitious about anything and am bordering on obsession of NOT being superstitious which in itself is a quirk...like I walk under ladders, step on cracks, love black cats walking in front of me (just as well as have had many ha ha).... Had a green car to take me to my wedding etc etc. Maybe I have another phobia eh?

I once had a Manager who wouldn't wear green as he said it was unlucky

Bluegal, I am like that as well. We have had green cars, even bought a racing green stove.

There are colours I like and colours I don't and that is the beginning and end of it.

Red cars go faster so I've heard.

Does anyone remember that white and red used to be a no-no for wedding bouquets? I realised that when looking at photos of a wedding I recently attended where the colour scheme was white and red. Florists don't seem to worry about it either, so perhaps I imagined it.

I wonder if that is because in black and white photographs, red would look like black?

JackyB I remember how red and white flowers were never put together by my Mum and my Aunties, even in the house, they said it was unlucky. I'm the same now, can't do it.

I had apple green bridesmaid dresses. An Aunt blamed me for the fact that their car broke down on the way home from our wedding.

The first car DH bought was a peppermint sea green (manufacturer's name) Corrine which we drove for years. I love green.

...Ford Cortina.....

Green is my favourite colour, green clothes, green carpets, perhaps this explains much !
