Amen. I keep looking at the car shopping sites (as one does) and it’s nothing but a sea of white, black, silver and gray and f or some cars only white and black seem to be available. Even red is hard to find. If the people who buy new cars don’t branch out we poor slobs that buy used are stuck.

Gah, and in Canada too. I sort of understand all the cars being white in Houston (though I don’t approve), but you guys don’t exactly have the same punishing sun exposure to deal with up there.

I agree on bringing back colors.   To me it's odd that there's not a silver or grey in there..

Yup, that’s why I like some cheap cars...the Misubishi Mirage, for example. At leas the pre-facelift version of the current Mirage came in a lot of really bright colors. I miss seeing bright colors on cars!

When the F150 has two grays, two blacks, a blue that’ s almost black, a green that’s almost black, a brown that’ s almost blac k,  two whites and four other colors that are red or blue you know it’s bad

It’s not even the people buying cars, it’s the dealers. They are the ones ordering the car, and their incentives are different, instead of ordering a range of colors so that the customer can pick the one they like best, they are mostly going to order “safe” colors to minimize the chance they have one stuck on their lot waiting for the right buyer. Plenty of people might want a green car but settle for silver if that’s what the dealer has and is willing to make a deal on. An d of course things are potentially more problematic on leases, since no one wants a weird car coming back on a lease return.

Of course that doesn’t explain why Tesla’s color options suck so much, but I think it is a big part of the problem.

This hurts me.

This hurts me and I will indeed yellow about it until I see red. (The focus is also mine I lack any good pics of it on my new phone)

There are times I wish I had gone with a red 4Runner instead of blue, as it’s dark enough that some people almost consider it black. I do like it, though.

FUCK Silver!

GM sux, but at least the Spark and Sonic come in some cool colors. You can even get the Spark in orange, and get this, TWO shades of pink! (too bad no more purple tho)

A Sonic in “shock” (a bright green) white a red interior and a manual transmisison for under 20k is cool.

And I know white can be kinda bland, but white cars with white wheels are awesome. You can get a white Sonic with white wheels and a red interior :o)

My dealer only stocked colors that sold well, and that was White, Black, Silver & Red.

All other colors usually meant them sticking on the floor and having to lose money to keep them longer and get rid of them.

You’re right about dealers wanting to stock colors that sell.  Most people want the primary colors, such as silver and get green because they have to.

Blue, Green, Yellow, etc. are the least demanded colors from new car buyers.

The lack of color in modern cars makes me genuinely sad

I’m mildly ashamed of my new white Volvo, but at least it has cool charcoal and brown seats. And m y MINI is a beautiful orange.
