I think I read somewhere that the average new car buyer is about 50 years old now. Everyone else is generally buying used. When I think about the cars with lively colors that were available in the 2000s I think about a lot of cars designed to be “first cars” for youth buyers. Brands like Scion and makes like the Neon. But nobody is going to make cars like that when their buyer has much more toned down sensibilities. I also buy the argument that so many cars sold on leases will influence the options available. No dealer wants to lease out an odd package of options like a pink manual transmission CRV with the top trim package and have to turn around and try to sell that after the car is returned.
