  Color can be a significant factor in the purchase of a vehicle as it is often reflective of a driver's personality. The color and type of paint contribute to the shine and finish of a car. The 2008 Chevrolet Impala is a roomy full-size family sedan and is available in 10 colors, many of which are neutral and metallic.
  
  

White

• White is one of the classic car colors. It is neutral and subtly differentiates the vehicle from others. Although white tends to hide dust and light dirt easily, darker mud and dirt will show. The white for the 2008 Impala is bright and glossy.
  
  

Black

• Black is considered another of the classic car colors. As a classy and sophisticated choice, its one drawback is that it shows dust, dirt and scratches easily. As with white, there is no need to update color for trendiness. As one of the few nonmetallic colors for the 2008 Impala series, this black has a glossy and sleek finish.
  
  

Metallics

• The 2008 Chevrolet Impala offers myriad metallic colors. Metallic paints have small, evenly sized flakes of aluminum added to the base paint to produce a sparkling effect . Cars with metallic paint do not change color when looked at from a different angle and they will have a very apparent shine. 2008 Impala colors include: Slate Metallic, a dark grey with metallic undertones; Dark Silver Metallic, a lighter version of Slate Metallic; Imperial Blue Metallic, a glossy medium blue; Mocha Bronze Metallic, a grey/brown mix; Gold Mist Metallic, a light gold; Silvertone Metallic, a light to medium silver and Black Granite Metallic.
  
  

Reds

• The 2008 Chevrolet Impala is also offered in two red selections. Precision Red is a medium to dark glossy red, while Red Jewel Tintcoat is a medium cherry red, lighter than Precision Red. Many red vehicles use a tint coat as a way to differentiate hues. Darker reds are suitable for the Chevrolet Impala as they are usually associated with luxury vehicles. Brighter reds tend to be associated with sports cars.
