When's the last time you saw a car other than red, black, blue, gray, or white on the road?

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

One economic reason I heard is that bright colors make used cars harder to sell.

It's better to play it safe with a neutral color than risk being stuck with a bright yellow or pink car no one else thinks is pretty.

    My niece just traded her burgundy Alfa Romeo Giulietta for her brand new Geely EX2.

    She did want the dusty pink one (she is a 19 year old girl who works very hard and purchased her cars herself), but decided on the mint green one because it would have better resale value. They also have a tan one, but the boring grey one is the hottest seller!
