Personal preference from the choices given would be
1. Black
2. Red
3. Yellow
(Gareth you made me LOL - it's also my personal belief that anything yellow attracts more insects, in the case of a car probably dead ones to be cleaned off)
Two questions - are there any insurance statistics on the colour of car most likely to be stolen? (years ago when I had an XR2i it was red)
and - does black cost any more?
oh, and Q3 do either of the above matter to you anyway?

If someone else was doing the car washing, I'd go for black. As I'm the mug, red. My Leon (which I've owned from new) is red. Also, after the experience of owning one black and one red version of the same car, I should point out that stone chips were far more obvious and unsightly on the nose of the black car. But I love the red of the Leon, I think it suits it really well.

I would go for,
Red
Yellow
Black
Red is just a classic colour, been available on sports cars for decades. The black would be a distant third because they are hard work to keep clean, having said that, nothing looks better when clean than black. I don't know about theft stats, but it is thought that red or yellow cars attract more unwanted police attention.

Hootie has a point about insects. I have a blue Passat, and Mrs T has a red one. Spiders love hers, and regularly constuct complicated web arrangements between the exterior mirrors and the front doors. They never even look at mine.
But the idea of insects hanging about on the motorways looking for a nice yellow car on which to meet their Maker stretches the credulity a bit.......

It's true that anything yellow attracts insects, so a stationary car could get covered in the things.
I wouldn't have a yellow car living in the countryside.
