    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.
