    Agreed, 100% teal, I have a teal a bit deeper color Samurai it was the color in that era.

      Back before every single fucking vehicle on the road was white, grey or black. But its cool, just makes it easier to find my truck in parking lots.

        Weird. I see many different coloured vehicles, I wouldn’t say the road around here was predominantly white, grey, and black.

        The recent theme seems to be de-saturated, pastel colours. I don’t like them but I wouldn’t call them grey.

            Ah, seems we might have gone through a phase but from your graph it looks like colours are returning.

            The explosion of white is not a surprise, considering it’s seen as one of the safest colours, but black and silver seem at similar levels at the end of that graph as the start.

            But I will admit that is evidence for newer cars being predominantly greyscale. I think there are probably a lot of older cars where I am.

              Yeah, the idea is that crazy colors don’t sell well in the general public, so boring colors get a resale bump in price, which basically spirals on itself. More people buy the boring colors because of the resale bump, which makes more boring colors. But I love my bright colors. It makes my vehicle easier to find in a parking lot being bright orange.
