Default Tired about the fastest color controversy? With Prof. Fourier permission I'll tell you the 2003...

fastest color:

In this spectra chart we can see most comon colors for the 2003. In the 'x' axis we got the wavelength, in the 'y' axis the level of flashy for a particular color and its placement.

The speed in your TT is measured in radians per second (w) (2 pi rad in one turn) that is inversally proportional to the wavelength.

WL=300,000,000/(w /2pi)

From here, it can be easily calculated that the Moro blue has more rad/sec and therefore travel more by time unit = faster. The opossit happens for the Missano. That's why the most red is named INFRAred, and the most blue is the ULTRAviolet.

If somebody is boring can do the math to figurate how much "color-distance" can be covered by each color. A 17" wheel travels 53.4" by turn or each 2 pi radians, now you can do the math.

On the other axis 'y' we can see the level of flashy of the TT's. Most TT are in the average with the exception of the yellows that are kind of flashy and the Goodwood and Moro Blue that are very discreet.

This is clear from the physics that the Moro Blue is the Fastest and more discreet color ;-)

Note about White and Silver: These colors are composotions of a wider average spectrum (multiple colors together) and so should be the speed (just average). From the spectra chart, it is clear that the clearest, the flashiest, but never losing discretion most of the time.

Note about black: Black, black, hell I don't know, this is not even a color (it doesn't reflect any color), only I can conclude that it is very discreet. However, if this is the zero color, the zero doesn't exist in the physics of material. There is allways some component of something, even if is infitesimally small. So I guess has a minimum ramdom color component, maybe was here where problems with the speedometer begun ;-) Ok let's speculate with the black!

errr.... its it axis, not axel... axis are for coordinates, axel is where you mount your tires..

Default Hey at least you understood the other stuff...

In my native language (both are the same) and as you see I have a bad time with my English, but I know, I really know, I will learn sooner or later! I corrected that already thanks.

Default Nice try, but you forgot one variable: index of refraction...

The shorter the wavelength of light, the HIGHER the index of refraction.

Speed of light in air = speed of light in vacuum/index of refraction.

Therefore, blue light (shorter wavelength) would be slower than red light.

Just the facts...my car is black, and thus has immeasureable speed, hehe.

Default Here's my theory..>>>

When your traveling on a highway, cars that are coming towards you on the opposite side of the highway, which color do you see first?

MISANO!!! there you go fastest color lol!!

Default You've only proven that black is the fastest being it is an ADDITIVE combination of all colors

Why - because black is the combination of all colors in an additive fashion. We can do it all. White - on the other hand - being the abscence of any color - is really scr*w*d.

Default actually black is an absence of color, more specifically it absorbs all wavelengths and does not....

reflect any.... ~
