Cars are half as colorful as they were 20 years ago

56. The last time I bought a new car (2019), I was disappointed in the limited range of colors available

Even if I were willing to pay more for some of the "premium" options not much inspired me. I went with a shade of blue I kind of like, but wasn't incredibly enthusiastic about.

I don't like black, white, or most shades of red as car colors.

I prefer colors in the blue/green range, but I'm picky, so it's not too surprising the standard options don't generally appeal to me.

I do like some of the metallic gray color range frequently offered these days for some models, more the cool grays than the warm grays.

I'd actually consider a vividly yellow car, as long as it were a true, solid, vibrant and saturated yellow, not pastel yellow or Tonka truck yellow or "school bus yellow", the latter being more a shade of orange than yellow as far as I'm concerned.
