How come so many cars on the road are painted gray? Car salesmen will tell you it is "silver metallic" but in actual fact, it's gray. And another whole bunch of cars get painted mud color. Do customers really want mud colored cars? What ever happened to red, or blue, or British Racing Green, or black, or other bright primary colors?
Is it really consumer demand for cars painted yucky colors? Or is it some faceless flunky who chooses the paint color for the average car going down the production line? Most cars are built on speculation, they don't have a customer nailed down, so the factory builds what it thinks will sell, and ships it to the dealers who manage to sell it. If the dealer's lot is filled with cars painted yucky colors, then yucky colors they will sell.
Maybe sales would increase if there were more cars painted decent colors?
