First impressions can make a large difference in someone’s opinion of a car. Generally, there are two components that have the biggest impact on this: design and color. An eye catching design or the bold curves on a car can really get car owners excited, so Mazda takes great care in infusing each creation with a sense of sportiness and fluidity. Color may not seem as important, but for Mazda it is a big component of their KODO design philosophy, which looks to embody the true soul of motion into a machine.

 

The #KODO approach may sound complicated or extravagant, but simply put it tries at connecting every driver to the car itself, letting them feel the road and experience what driving is truly about. A big aspect of this is color, which is thought of as, “an element of form” in this way of thinking. That’s why each paint option is more than just a simple color, it is multiple layers of artistry and creativity. The classic Mazda red is available on every car, and it brings the car to life for many owners.

 

Mazda’s newest shade is a color named Soul Red Crystal, and will be a color choice for some 2017 models. It combines three layers of clear, translucent and reflective coats into a richer red that has 20 percent more color saturation and 50 percent more depth than other red paints. This gives a bolder and fresher finish to the car. It also has aluminum and light-absorbing flakes that raise the intensity of the color.

 

Each drive of a Mazda car brings out the excitement and fun of driving, so head down to Cardinale Mazda to test one out for yourself. You can also look at all our new models online at www.cardinalemazda.com.
