Most car dealerships only stock black, white, silver or grey.

I walked into our showroom the other day and it was very reminiscent of Henry Fords “any colour, as long as it’s black”. There were also two silver cars and one dark blue car hidden in the back, as if it was ashamed of itself.

I drive a tan car. My niece drives a mint green car. There are two jungle green Zeekr’s in our street but every single other car is monochrome.

I saw yellow today, and I see them often enough to make a little game out of it.

Today: yellow, turquoise, green, all in a carpark near my house.

I’m from the UK and recently was in Toronto so rented a car to get around and also to drive to Montreal. We will observed that all the cars were very limited in colours. Is it a North American thing?

In the UK, it has been getting less diverse but still a fair bit of variety

Today, because my car is green 😝

I actually hate the attention it gets, but I’m poor and it was cheap. Never seems like a good idea to me if other drivers can easily remember you. On the other hand, I can always find it in a big parking lot.

Two days ago. It was a gross dehydrated piss yellow pickup truck

I drive an orange sub-SUV when I’m not driving my baby blue moped. And my wife drives a beige truck (she wanted the white one but it was more expensive with its addons)

Yellow is far more common than red, I see green occasionally

It’s funny, because I just made a comment about this in another thread.

There the OP was asking if people today are less ‘vibrant’ than they were a few years ago.

Not only are cars getting duller, the streets are losing vibrancy.

The best street performers of the past are now online. You used to happen upon a great comic or musician at random, playing in a park or mall.

Saturday, the last time I took my car out on the road. However, the point is taken, we specifically wanted one of the nicer colors for our car. The dealer was a bit unhappy with us, as we walked into the dealership and said, “we want this vehicle, at this trim level,. in this color.” Ultimately, we got the car we wanted at one trim level higher, in the color we wanted. We were already paying ~$60k for the vehicle, the extra $2k to go up a trim level was a small enough jump that we decided to take the car, rather than wait longer for special order. And, if I’m fully honest, I’m actually glad we got the higher trim level. Some of the extra features were very nice to have.

Had we wanted white, we could have driven off the lot with a vehicle the same day. But ya, fuck dull colors. Sure, I recall reading that the dull colors have better resell value, but that’s not something I worry about. We use a car as a tool, not an investment. We’ve already paid the car off and we plan to drive it into the ground. And I’d much rather have the car I want to drive, rather than min/max a couple thousand out of it at some far distant date, maybe.

Saw a yellow sports car on Saturday. My wife has a bright green Fiesta.

There’s an orange Subaru at my work, along with a couple of baby-blue Broncos with white tops. Those broncos are pretty stylish, tbh.

metallic green, about a week ago

I saw a vintage burnt orange Oldsmobile yesterday, but not on the street

I see a couple yellow cars every day. There’s a lime one and a dark purple one in my neighborhood. Also, a black one with pink accents and eyelashes over the headlights. Still, the weirdest one I’ve seen recently was an iridescent pink with a yellow sheen.

Every day. But I’m living in one of the most show off cities in the US. There is no day without spotting a 200k+ car.
Wraps, plasti-dips are really really common. And actually doing a full paint job is relatively cheap also

what happened to all pinks, purples, oranges, yellows and greens I remember from the 90s.

Well they weren’t as common as you think they were. They are still around.
