This is the sad truth. Nobody thinks about cars as something they own and want it at whatever color they like because they just like it. Even when they buy, they have the renter mentality of "this is _currently_ my car" but will soon be someone else's. Having it in a color that will sell for less is just higher "rent" to pay while you "own" it. "You vill own nothing" mentality has already won.

Used to have a forest green 1972 superbeetle.
I bought it under the tacit understanding that my late father and I would work on it together and bond in the garage. He decided being a full time drunk was more important. Now I drive his "old" (2012) crush orange jeep. If I ever have to drive an automatic I'm going to fucking kill myself.

In the 90s it was still common to sit down with an option sheet and custom order with most options being available across all trim packages. Higher trim packages also weren't the grift they are now. It was literally just a bulk option buy at a discount. I remember my mother buying an LS trim 4 door Chevy Cavalier with the same engine that was available in the Z24. And the option sheet had a bunch of colour swatches. There was no trim package specific colours.

They do. The two entities whose consent you forgot to ask are car companies number one, they make more money offering fewer options and they're in a cartel with each other so nobody breaks rank, and number two the greater humanity beyond what an individual wants. Cars are gradually becoming hyper regulated slop because at the end of the day, driving in America is a way to span long distances and move through a place you don't want to be, in order to reach one you do. Efforts to make it a joyful experience end up counterproductive because you see thousands of other cars on the road. The more flamboyant they are, the more distracting and mentally taxing it is to look at them. Decorative truck cultures in Pakistan and south america inhabit a totally different world where the truck is a caravan moving through country and mountain roads, sometimes with extreme tedium.

People google what colors hold value best.

Beyond that white is a utility color to help keep a parked car cool and black helps warm them up more, and also those are the easiest colors to match up paint on if a bumper or door etc need replacing.

I do agree there is hardly any fucking personality in colors anymore however. To me silver is about the closest to an actual personality but still it’s just fucking silver.

People stick with neutral colours like grey, black and white because they are considering the resale value of the car. A vivid colour car is harder to sell because you need to find someone who either likes or doesn't mind driving say a red car. A neutral colour like black though is acceptable to everyone and thus the car is easier to sell.

not everyone likes red or blue or whatever, but most people are content with a neutral color
dealers don't want to order a bunch of different colors and then get stuck with a bunch of cars that didn't sell because of their color isn't popular

also it costs money every time the assembly line has to swap paint colors
and bright colors are also more likely to draw attention from police

Most people even ignore what McD is about. It's not listed as restauration chain : it's a real estate company.

AFAIK sometimes they really make red cheaper to insure.
Two problems: red with high power means crazy boyracer. So it is expensive again.
Fixing bright metallic colors is more expensive.
So avg maintenance is more costly but you have less chance to get totalled or even killed by blind niggers. Also more chance you are a racer. But that is a danger for the insurance company only. Owning a red car will not make you crazy if you are normal already.

Others have already said it but it comes down to resale value.
If you want proof of how much the auto market has changed over the decades in this regard then just look at new car sales over time.
There are lots of ups and downs due to economic cycles but new car sales essentially have not grown in the last 20 years and are only marginally higher than the 80s. Meanwhile the US population has grown by almost 50% since 1985. Over 100 million more people. And yet we they are buying the same number of new cars.
This means people are keeping their cars longer and buying used more often.
In the 1970s the only people you would see in a car more than 4 years old were high school kids and completely broke losers. Even a lot of high school kids were in new cars. This meant the used market was tiny and cars had negligible resale value.
If you're not dependent on selling your current car in order to buy your next car then you don't need to worry about getting a colour that is easy to sell. You can just get whatever colour you like.

It's not that people don't want color. Color is expensive. And companies are pushing the cheapest possible options, black, white, and grey, because they cost them less but they sell t he car for the same price. It's all about margins.

First car. Was honestly pretty solid. All wheel drive, built on an audi frame, good solid mechanical diff it shared with the quattro amonf other things, the little 1.6l turbo felt pretty punchy as teen, heated leather seats, pretty decent stock sound system, and even an integrated ipod dock way back in 2004. Still have it sitting in a yard. It'd be a silly car to do it to but sometimes i think about doing an engine swap and cleaning her up to revive the old girl for old times sake. Even if she's not pretty or something you're particularly proud of you always remember your first.

Main reason is probably that nobody can afford their own cars anymore. Much leasing etc. and everyone is cautious because of resale value and play it safe. A silver car is probably easier to sell than a purple one.

The overwhelming majority of new cars are bought by women. And you would think that claim is bullshit because you probably know more men driving than women, but those simps buy cars to impress women or they buy a certain care to "please the wife". Women are a hivemind, so it's natural for them to pick cars from three safe colors because it's less risky for their social standing than buying a yellow car.

fun fact - the harlequin design was popularised by Canterbury rugby sports apparel. they were making jerseys for the harlequin rugby club and they took off as a unique fashion statement in the 1980s. they were unique, unlike computer printed patterns teams use today. they are all sewn together as seperate panels

The brains behind this concept used trash bin worthless fabric offcuts combined from making other club jersey designs into single designed unique apparel worth $100s each. No two jerseys were ever made the same and they became collectable, like swatch watches that were popular at the time.
>In the 1980s, the mismatched Canterbury jerseys made from multiple factory fabric offcuts were officially known as "Uglies".
>The concept was born a decade earlier when Canterbury of New Zealand was producing so much team gear that factories accumulated mountains of leftover fabric remnants. To cut down on waste, they randomly stitched the various multi-coloured patchwork panels together to create heavy-duty practice jerseys using the Harlequins team jersey panel design
>Because no two shirts were identical, players and fans lovingly dubbed them "Uglies, and became a name brand
>By the 1980s and early 1990s, they had evolved from basic football training wear into a massive mainstream streetwear fashion trend worldwide.

I mean there definitely has been a trend in preference towards greyscale colours in the past 20 years but even putting that aside you can look at the colour preferences in 1996 and it's obvious that if you care about reselling the car you wouldn't pick a non greyscale colour. The only colour with any popularity is red but someone who is keen on say a grey car is more likely to be fine with black or silver or white but will ignore and red listings.
And I don't know if you've ever bought a used car but people do care about colour. It's not like there is only a handful of 7 year old Camrys on the market. There would be hundreds available within a 100km radius of most people. You gotta filter through all those listings and excluding a colour like red cause you're just not that into it is an easy way of narrowing the list down.

Funny thing about that is there was a study done by JD Power & Associates a few years back that showed colorful cars sold faster and for a higher price on the used car market. They believed this was because the color made them stand out in listings, which are just page after page after page of the same old dull vehicles. People who purchased dull looking cars when resale in mind ended up playing themselves.
