No i dont. And if others missed them that badly they would still be sold.
People don’t want to pay multiple thousands more for a color, when the manufacturer would rather enshittify their selection to save a buck.
The 80s, when your car was colorful and your house was… not
Brown is dark orange
Yay let’s make all cars the same colour as the road
Bring back brown cars!
You can have any color you like, as long as it is grey. -Albert Einstein
Someone finally decided to call this shit out, I go to any parking lot, and I get depressed by tge uniformity and how bland it looks, 3 colour saturation, white,black and fucken grey, it’s depressing af.and don’t get me started on the Tesla epidemic, black, white Grey hideousness
there is actually one red car in the bottom picture
Ok, I’ll say it. Dogs see blues and yellows, not grayscale. Colorblind is kind of a bad label, as it seems people assume it means all colors instead of blind to a few colors. Humans could be considered UV or infrared colorblind, but we’re never described that way.
Many people here say that people don’t want to be targeted by cops but I don’t feel like cops target colored cars specifically. At least where I live I feel like they target stereotypical vehicles, which would mean a combination of brand and model, color, tinted windows, any visible modding etc., and also the body style of the car. For example a gray roadster will have a higher chance to be targeted by the police than a yellow minivan. A modded car will always be stopped more than average.
So the way to not get targeted is to get a car that screams “mother/father of two in an unhappy marriage”. Or go to the other extream and get whatever the mafia drives if you have the money. I have never seen a G-class Mercedes stopped by the police.
The target here is vans, black BMW, Audi, Mercedes, and then the grey of the same 3 brands, it became an absolute stereotype
Blame this on the car insurance companies. They claim that certain car colors are less likely to be in a wreck.
Also blame car manufacturers. Some colors cost more than others. Check the sticker price next time you’re in the market.
I miss cars that would last for 30 years more than choice of color.
nope. I don’t care for your personality in the road. I don’t miss it at all. I will buy black until I die
there’s a study that shows that car colorfulness is positively correlated to being in a good mood for longer periods of time (i.e. not having depression)
so, car colors reflect the mood of a society. and that they’re all gray today is a bad sign.
there’s a number of additional signs to read the mood of society. i was told by a colleague that the length of women’s skirts is another indication (the shorter the skirt length, the better society’s mood is overall).
i also believe that the music they play i.e. in the supermarket is a good indicator. the more love songs on the radio, the better the mood of society. the more break-up songs on the radio, the worse the mood of society.
It’s not just cars. Our whole society is grey.
Peak automotive engineering!
There used to be a sense of whimsy and fun in stuff.
