Anecdotally, I look out from my window, and in the parking lot, there are 7 black, 6 white, 6 gray (of different shades), 3 red, 2 dark blue, 1 grayish blue, and 1 Windows-XP-blue cars. 7 out of 26 are colorful.
I personally like bright color for little objects (pens, ties, socks, etc.), but black and white for the big things (like cars). The small stuff feels like silent, introverted rebellion. But pink cars and bright green houses? It's just too conspicuously salient. There's nowhere to hide. It invites too much attention, and grips so many eyeballs, that it makes me feel naked in a crowd.
- tfandango 4y agoI know some cars cost more to get a different color, like Teslas. They come in white, but if you want something like red, that's an extra $1000. I recently wanted to buy a car and [anecdotally also] the dealerships have like 90% black and white cars, and maybe there a couple of grey cars!
