I'll be ok with not being the 75th red mustang to show up at a cruise.
RED is popular because it LOOKS great! Don't hate me cuz I'm beautiful!!! :beat
 
Walk through any parking lot. White and silver everywhere. BORING!
It's what the new car manufacturer provide, not preference.
(Although on some classics silver or white is very classy).

GO is not yellow anyways so it's not even in the poll, except as "other."
I love gem colors - ruby red, tourquoise, emerald green, sapphire blue, amythist...

I had a chocolate brown 1979 Datsun 210 station wagon. It looked like a turd. Terrible car! (Traded it on my first new Mustang in 1983).

Your absolutely correct, I apologize to the GO team for my ignorance including GO in the spectrum range of yellow and gold. :wor :gobp LoL

I wonder if it has anything to do with the reason CA was thinking of outlawing dark colored cars--they use the A/C more than light colored cars. I totally agree that silver cars are TOO overdone. I'll never buy a silver car. You're right, though, it looks ok on a classic.

My recent painting plans for my car (in 50 years when I get to that point) was to paint it a bright metallic silver (I like the sliver BMW makes for the Mini Coopers) with satin black LeMans style stripes. The problem is, as everyone is pointing out, I recently realized almost every other new car that gets popped out is silver.

So now, I'm rethinking.

Of course, by the time I can afford a paint job, and get the body straight enough to do it, all those silver cars will be in the scrap piles, so maybe by then some other color will be the "it" color.

Try walking through a BMW *receiving lot. Black black black black black black black black black black silver black black black black black black white black black black black black black OMG a red one black black black black black black.

*Whatever that place in Oxnard is called, all of the BMWs go there are prepped and go out to the dealers in SoCal.

In support of "GO" the chart could actually show the order of cheapest paint to the most expensive,

At a recent car show my wife and I fell in love with a lifestyle color car. I am not kissing go butt... I'm just sayin that year and that color are stunning. Mine is White clean and almost boring.

:po Charts LOL ... Popularity LOLOL... it seems to me that car colors would start with "Fleet" white for cost and leasing. The rest are basic colors the manufacturer probably offers that year. The rare odd colors like orange , would be custom. When I bought the paint for my car (part of me wanted an orange yellow type) I asked what the paint would cost in a bright color. I was told it would start at around 4x more. So...I went with boring.
