Would appreciate others' comments on golf cart colors (dark vs. light) with regard to my question. I recently saw a photo of a black golf cart on TOTV, and I think it is gorgeous. I told Kathy that's the one! But I don't want us to fry in the process <g>.

As far as heat goes, I don't think it matters. Our cart is black but I have noticed that bright colors are certainly more visible. If it had been my choice I would have gone for a bright color just because of added safety. Just my observation.
