Default New Car Colors

When did various shades of 'Battleship Gray' become a desirable color for new vehicles? Leaves me cold.

I’m glad you brought this up Bill. Some of the most plain looking flat colors I’ve ever seen on cars. Butt ugly IMO.
Been looking at new pickups lately and seems all that’s on the lots a black, gray or white.
👎.

It’s all about the money. Mass produced and you buy what they tell you to buy. Porsche,bmw you can get most any color. You just have to pay up.

It just became popular.

Silver was the first color in a long time to break into the top 3 which stood for a long time.
