The most popular car colour is white. It’s been that way for a long time. But how boring does that seem when you can have a screaming, in-your-face, arrest-me-now-officer lime green car?
Colour trends are an interesting look into the psyche of the automotive industry because the colours people buy and the colours automakers offer are often pretty different — people buy white cars while automakers seem to be obsessed with lime green right now. The colour seems to be “en vogue,” as they say.
One of the loudest and most unapologetic colours you can have on a car, we’re seeing the radioactive shade on cars at two very opposite ends of the price spectrum: on high-horsepower sports cars and exotics, but also little jellybean-like budget subcompacts.
What your car colour says about you
There’s a good reason you don’t see lime green family sedans. With exotics, one of the main goals is to get noticed, so the more ostentatious the colour the better. On the little subcompacts, people want their cars to come across as carefree and fun, so a neon green hue also gets the job done in this respect.
