Sherri and I were just talking about this last week on the way to the office.

So many crappy colors on new cars. She does like the blue tinted dark gray. Me; not so much.

I read somewhere probably 2 years ago or more that 70% of new cars sold are white, black, gray, or silver. I honestly would have put it at 85% based on the cars I see locally and their colors. When I ordered my new 2017 Camaro 1SS I ordered it in Red Hot, and I love that color. In a cloth interior I could only get black or gray. I ordered black.

I definitely would not buy a new car in white, black, gray, or silver, or any of those pastel colors that seem to be quite common on Toyotas. I like colors on a car like shades of red, blue, green, even gold. I've always liked interiors in white, gold, bright blue, and red.

I Remember when you had to”Pay Up” for Dove Gray on a Lincoln or a Ford. Late 70’s
We called it Primer with Clear. A totally Dead Color in my opinion but I never owned one, just towed a lot of them
