The change to Velocity Yellow is because the production color was changed, I can only guess further about the tint coats maybe having something to do with TV visibility..... |

Yellow is the most intimidating color and still visible when dirty. Silver /gray is the least visible and least intimidating color on the race track. The change to Velocity Yellow was for the race cars, the production cars followed. Velocity Yellow is more YELLOW when dirty then the Millennium Yellow was. Intimidating color is for the drivers about to be lapped looking in their review mirrors. for Marketing, TV and spectators, Yellow sticks out. |

It's my sense that is today's judgment - time could change it...either direction. I didn't get the sense that a 10th first time out would bother them. A tenth the fifth time out would. |

Yellow and Red are not peaceful colors. They are colors of excitement. Black vehicles, black clothing ppl think is a power color. It is not. It is a color of self drought and self indulgence. psychology of color. PPL Love or hate yellow. That is OK. The emotion is the same. Marketing. oh and Quote:

Who cares what the color it is if they're all over your rear view?
Yellow stands out, but it isn't intimidating. |

Yellow is a "look at me color", it announces loudy, its presence, but there really are no intimidating colors on a race track. I used to drive a yellow Mustang and people often asked me if I cruising for tickets. |

No, because the current GT1 championship is nothing but dead. The new regs will count the GT2 as king of the GT´s.

There are evolutionary reasons for our visual semiotics and perceptual characteristics. An animal in black is hard to see, difficult to grasp visually ahead of a confrontation, and can more easily hide itself or its weapons, which is why it gets a bonus on our danger assessment scale. An animal in red is usually excited, with lots of blood flowing, which means either sex or murder. Both can be quite close and dangerous in the animal kingdom and get the adrenaline flowing. Quote:

Please, give a few examples of dangerous yellow objects in nature which would have caused an evolutionary impetus to class yellow as an exciting or dangerous color. Easily visible? Yes. Exciting or intimidating? No. |

RB got it. Black is intimidating, menacing even. Yellow is to stand out. |
