Very funny. I just posted a comment in DK gallery about danish cars being "boring" and how danes always choose the same neutral colours: white, black, grey metallic and silver) because they are better at keeping their values up...
Some people would NEVER buy a yellow car Some people would NEVER buy a green car Some people would NEVER buy a orange car Some people would NEVER buy a blue car Some people would NEVER buy a red car Very few people would NEVER buy a white, black, grey or silver car... but also very few people would pick any of those four colours as their personal favourite!
So car buyers are afraid of buying cars in their favourite colours, because some potential buyers 5-10 years later may not like that colour, so the car will be a little harder to sell and may not sell for quite as much as a neutral coloured one. Is it really worth it? Sacrificing the chance to drive a car in your very own favourite colour, just to get a few extra bucks and sell a little faster when it's time for you to move on?
Compare this to the supercars... here it's far more common to see cars in bright, livid, shining colours. The buyers of such cars are not afraid to pick the exact colours they like, because the cars simply look better with a nice paintjob.

I think that the colors make it harder to be sold. Blue cars for instance make me instantly attracted to it and makes it stand out compared to all the dirty black ones. Currently thinking about buying a blue A4 2006 as a first car. Either I get it or it gets scrapped
Interesting thoughts about colors on cars, and sadly it's true that most cars have boring colors. At least up here in Scandinavia, or Northern Europe.
Many years ago I bought a Suzuki Carry, a short, narrow and high van with a very small engine. The car was grey when I bought it, but my first thought was "It must be yellow!" And so it was.
Some years ago I wondered about selling it, and I think there was 10-15 potential buyers calling me. The color didn't matter, not either it was hand painted with a brush
I regret, and the car still is on my hands. Still yellow.
