Grey is my favourite simply because it matches the undercoat so chips don't stand out.
Let's be careful out there !

I think gray is the dullest "colour", especially on an already not very extravagant car like the Jazz. We would have chosen red if the red paint of the Jazz had been as beautiful (or at least almost as beautiful) as the red of our previous car, the Yaris:


But alas, it didn't come close to that beautiful red, so we wanted something different. So we chose Premium Sunlight White Pearl.
If nothing goes right, go left!

If we were all the same there would just be one colour available.

We all have our favourites be it the colour or the practically. My current choice was dictated by interior colour options.

Same here, when I bought my SR Jazz all the dark paint colours had light interior colours and all the light paint colours had dark interior colours.
It will be alright in the end, if it's not alright then it's not the end !

HEAR! HEAR! Especially the 'putty grey' so beloved of V.A.G.
I have just bought my first ever RED car as the HR-V colour choices are pretty boring. In bright sunlight it absolutely  'fizzes'. It doesn't photograph well, but next time you see a red CR-V, Mazda, or Renault in bright sun, that's what it looks like.
I have full colour vision and I was messing about with an HR-V in Horizons showroom and would have sworn it was black, but it was, in fact, blue! Why have two colours so similar

I always choose my car colour, based on safety and the ability to be SEEN.
Many years ago I had a bright yellow Austin Metro, because at the time the UK Fire Service was thinking of changing from their usual Red, as Yellow showed up better under Sodium streetlights, of course in never happened.
However all my Jazz cars have been Red, internal colour is not really important, other than it should be dark and not show the dirt
I just can't understand why a lot of drivers choose Grey or similar, it must be the worst colour to be seen in poor visibility, when it just blends in with the tarmac!!!

Just wish they had Mazda soul red on the Jazz. Not keen on Jazz red amazed it’s so popular.

Can’t believe people choose interior colour over exterior

On the 'young executives' new housing estate near me  about half the cars are white.  On a  pensioners bungalow estate, very few white cars.

I chose white because I preferred the dark interior,  The Piano black trimming and tinted windows looks good on a white car.  (fortunately the dealer had one awaiting handover)  Preferred it to the  dark demo and show room cars. 
Clincher was  delivery in two weeks.  Other colours were 'maybe on December or February boat.'

Well, my Crosstar is grey and I am very happy with it. It was my first choice of colour from the very limited range offered on the car.
With regard to comments “you can’t see it, blends in with the Road”, well it does have daylight running lights and auto headlights (which you can manually turn on in situations that the sensor doesn’t pick up such as fog) so absolutely no reason why you should be invisible to other road users.

I’ve always wanted a yellow car, but it’s not available on the Jazz.

I did come close to buying a civic (mark 9?) that was available in a yellow/gold colour for the editions near launch before it was dropped later.

 Interesting the dislike Grey is getting on here.

For me it's by far the nicest colour the Jazz is available in, though I really like the Surf blue the Crosstar gets.

I'm sure the light interior takes a bit of effort to keep clean compared to the normal dark trim, but I'm really glad I chose it, just makes for a nice place to be.

 I just wish Honda would have offered a few more colour options for the Jazz , like Dyno-rod Orange or Neon green, seems wacky colours have all but disappeared.

I have the white interior- it’s not too bad to keep clean, at least the carpets are black.

I don’t think there are many white outside and white inside Jazz around in the UK like mine.

I had a Lexus once that had a white interior with white carpets and white seatbelts which was difficult to keep clean.
