Cars are half as colorful as they were 20 years ago

92. Yeah I fell in line

I recently bought a non-metallic "Brooklyn Gray" car. Luckily it has a distinctive and sporty shape, plus being a rare make in my rural area, so I can always easily locate it in the parking lot. But I actually like the color and prefer to keep it 'under the radar' so it doesn't attract as much attention and also reduces the 'flexing' image the brand often evokes.

Grayscale colors don't seem to fade as much over time or show dirt as easily, so there's that going for them, for those of us lazy about washing cars frequently.

But I do remember one of my favorite cars my parents had when I was growing up was a burgundy Oldsmobile 88 from the 60s. I definitely enjoy seeing color on the road, even if my own car is more of a blend.
