Solid colours

Alabaster White 鈥撀犅�0

This is a dazzling聽white that鈥檚 a very desirable聽choice.聽Its popularity means you won鈥檛 struggle to find a used buyer for it聽and,聽while many marques charge extra for white, it鈥檚 free on the Micra.聽The inevitable downside, however, is that it鈥檒l require very frequent cleaning to stay looking good.

Metallic colours

Platinum Sage 鈥撀犅�525

This interesting hue brings together gold and green for a distinctive look. As a slightly more unusual colour, you might find it takes a little longer to resell than a more conventional shade. This colour isn鈥檛 dissimilar to聽built up road grime so frequent cleaning won鈥檛 be needed.

Tungsten Grey 鈥撀犅�500

This mid-spectrum grey聽looks smart and shouldn鈥檛 scare off many future buyers. As a darker shade, it should hide road grime fairly well meaning fewer visits to the car wash than a lighter hue.

Universal Silver 鈥撀犅�500

This is a light silver聽that鈥檚 perennially聽popular, so will聽be a hit with prospective use purchasers. The聽obvious snag 鈥� its paleness means pretty frequent washing, so it won鈥檛聽be the most practical choice if you cover high mileages.

Shiraz 鈥撀犅�500

This red is one of the Micra鈥檚 boldest colours so will suit extroverts well. Red is fairly聽popular with UK car buyers 鈥� especially on smaller cars 鈥� so you shouldn鈥檛 be waiting too long for it to change聽hands. It offers moderate聽grime concealing performance.

Nightshade 鈥撀犅�500

This colour is an intense, dark purple that should聽do pretty well聽at concealing the road dirt. It鈥檚 an unusual colour, so it might聽take a little聽longer than more conventional colours聽to change hands on the used market.

Sapphire Black 鈥撀犅�500

This pitch black will give your Micra a sophisticated聽finish. Black is a sensible聽choice聽because it鈥檚 easy聽to sell on to the used market. It won鈥檛 hide dirt well, however, and be wary of cheaper car washes聽鈥� they聽can leave unsightly swirl聽marks behind.

Ocean Blue 鈥撀犅�500

This vivid electric blue is another great choices for extroverts. Blue is generally a well-liked shade, so it shouldn鈥檛 be too hard to convince a used buyer to take it. We鈥檇 anticipate moderate聽dirt-hiding performance from this hue.

Pearl metallic colours

Pacific Blue 鈥撀犅�700

This is an aquamarine shade, with turquoise tones. It鈥檚聽a fairly unusual hue, so won鈥檛 sell as quickly to used buyers as darker colours. Its lightness聽will also聽mean you鈥檒l need to clean it more often than other colours.

Pearl White 鈥撀犅�700

This pearlescent white聽has more depth than Alabaster White聽and will give your Micra a sophisticated appearance that ought to make it easy to sell on. Like Alabaster, however,聽every last speck of grime will聽show up very speedily so budget for plenty of car washes.
