Re: General question about Yenko colors
I think he chose colors that fit two categories, the perpetually popular ones like green, blue and red, and then some lessor quantities of 'new' colors like citrus, bronze, and olympic gold. This way he could have colors for all tastes, not every shade, but he had his basics covered.
However, some of his choices for the 'new' colors backfired on him. I'll use gobi beige for an example so nobody get's too excited! There is a good reason why so many of the beige cars seem to be sold in PA - not many dealers ordered them from Yenko. Gobi was one of the colors dropped in the second order of cars, and is commonly one of the colors with the latest sales dates. Not to say that other colors didn't languish on dealers lots as well, but gobi was a tough color to plunk $4500 down on. So, the color choices worked for and against Yenko.
