When’s the last time you saw a car other than red, black, blue, gray, or white on the road?

Like, what happened to all the pinks, purples, oranges, yellows, and greens I remember from the 90s?

    Once of my sisters has a… what is it called… champagne (I think) colored SUV. One of my brothers has a bright green car, like a kiwi lime color. Another brother has a 2 tone car that’s half orange half black.

    I’ve got a dark blue myself, but if I could afford a paint job it would without a doubt be a nice yellow. Like a dandelion kind of shade. I absolutely looooove the color yellow.

    Someone near me drives one of those pink Mary K cars, so I see it pretty frequently. It’s also not too uncommon to see forest green SUVs in the area also.

    I saw an orange car yesterday. I don’t know the model.

    I want a car that is painted with only vibrant colors, and different colors for each part of the car. It would look hideous, but at least I would never lose it in a parking lot.

    I see green and orange Subarus. There’s an iridescent pink Tesla in my neighborhood. Those colors aren’t as common as the black and white ones mentioned above.

      If full vinyl wraps were cheaper, you’d see iridescent pink and purple and orange cars everywhere!

    I see a beat up old lime green Hilux around where I live with a big “The Sword” sticker on the aide window of the camper. I want to have a beer and listen to good metal with the owner.

    My theory of because of the rental fleet to used car lots flow. Rental fleets will buy newer cars, then sell them back to the dealerships so they can sell them as used cars. It’s much easier to sell generic coloured cars, than highlighter piss yellow

    Saw and orange ugly ass Mazda yesterday, and disgusting lime green Tesla truck, and neon pink Tesla, a hunter green vw bug. But god help me the “trendy” color in my state right now that absolutely makes me want to gag is Khaki.

    Maybe it’s due to being in LA, but I’ve seen plenty of bright colors, an iridescent finish once or twice, and occasionally Angeline Pink.

    There’s a Smart that looks like a cozy coupe that I see fairly often! Also my car is black at white instead of just a solid color. That’s mostly because I’ve had to replace the bumpers after an accident.

    Yesterday! But I’ve been trying to just look around more. There’s an orange car often, and some pink ones. Also trucks like to be green. Or stripped!

    I was just talking about the number of cars that seem to be garden utensil green / brown these days.
