I was commenting on your proposed meaning of the thread. We aren't "losing our individuality" because cars are pumped out of the factory in muted colors, you old fart lol

Anyone can take their ass to an auto shop and get candy apple red or metallic lime green anytime. This isn't some conspiracy from Big Auto.

The problem with that is, no paint job is ever as good as the one the factory puts on a car, and it's also quite expensive to have it done properly.

All three of our cars are dark blue. I had a Green Jeep Grand Cherokee in 1993 but I've never owned a black or white car. I've noticed when I commute that cars who speed, tailgate or weave in and out of traffic are usually Nissans, Audis, Lexus or VW. Not sure why.

Red truck, black Mustang, and white Malibu.

Had a 78 Camaro in high school that was three parts red/two parts orange.

I know some manufacturers now charge for any color that's not white, black, or gray.... but, I do find it interesting they're so much in demand these days.

I mean.... this is a world where it's not enough just to wear a mask, but to have all sorts of individualized masks. And obviously all of the other chances to express individuality day to day.

Yet, the data clearly shows the demand is for boring car colors... it's weird.

I got mine grey for resale value and not having to wash it as much and when I did have a red car I seemed to get a lot more speeding tickets, so I figure a more muted color might help , with my grey Explorer which at a quick glace can look like the police ghost cars I haven't gotten any just possible coincidence though , I may be overthinking my whole choosing process but not sure it had anything to do with my individuality.

Is it really that they're in demand, or is it because that's what's available?
[Reply]

Well, and people aren't buying white and gray because that's the only options available, and then turning around and getting another paint job.... people clearly want those colors. And there are limited choices sometimes, but I believe you can generally pay something like $500 to express individuality, which would make more sense than repainting it.

I just clicked on a Corolla, Camry, and a couple of Chevys, and they all had ~3-5 colors that weren't black/white/gray. I went to a local dealership website and while it's definitely a lot of black/white/gray, ever ~3-5 cars was something else. :-)

This is indeed a strange phenomenon. Once in a while, I'll see a car that's bright pink or purple or even light blue or green, and I'll wonder why there aren't more of them out there.

The color you are looking for is Delmonico Red. I have a Ram with that color and the blackout trim. Just a great looking combo. I don’t get as many comments on it as when it was brand new, but for the first year or so it was kind of crazy. I didn’t buy it to get the attention and it’s just a stock truck otherwise, so I didn’t expect people to go out of their way to compliment it.

Including the bondo ? :-)

Like homes, it's a pricey acquisition and not swapped easily or cheaply. You can wear a crazy mask Saturday, wake up for church service Sunday and put on a plain white or black mask.

Metallic Granite is the "official color". Sparkly dark gray would be a more accurate description. :-)
