Is it not a military thing? “Battleship gray”? Designed to make your car look more intimidating. Which is what people want when they are stressed and see life as a competition.
- jstarfish 4y agoThere is nothing intimidating about gray-- it is as utilitarian as it gets, and just happens to be useful for camouflage at sea (hiding...not threatening).
