I wonder if this is a real preference or kind of an economic distortion. I often hear that people would like a bright colored car, but they worry it wouldn't sell as easily, while a black car is unobjectionable and inoffensive to any buyer. maybe we value color but not as strongly as the opportunity costs?
or maybe it's just a temporary fashion change and we'll have a revival of bright pastel colors.
- ghaff 2y agoI question how many people seriously worry about resale value. What I see (especially after listening to a podcast on color preferences in cars) is that there are a lot of color patterns that aren't exactly classically neutral but are neutral-ish with maybe a tint of something more colorful. My brother's newish house is mostly so neutral with the exception of some artwork. I probably overdid room-by-room color schemes when I moved into my house few decades ago but I certainly wouldn't have opted for basically pure-neutral throughout.

Anti-conspicuous consumption? >pastel colors https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=honda+diffused+sky+blue&iax=images&ia=images https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffab&q=honda+diffused+sky+blue&iax...
