OK, so have you ever looked outside at a parking lot? Take a look... Right now, I can see 15 cars from my vantage point. Two of them are a muted red/burgundy/wine colour. One is bright yellow. The rest of silver, grey, beige or black. Why are car colours so boring? Whatever happened to bright red? Why aren't there more exciting colours than forest green? What about bright purple or even dark purple? I don't think I've ever seen an orange car... I can see the roofs of many more cars and other than adding white to my list... that's pretty much it... How sad...
I've looked on the internet, and everybody else has the same question... why so many boring car colours? Some say it's the downturn in the economy. Some say it's just the conservative nature of the auto industry. Ergh...
Maybe it's a safety feature? Maybe if there were too many bright coloured cars on the road we would be distracted and have more accidents? Maybe bright colours don't stick to the metal very well? I don't know... and apparently others don't either! But it would be nice to create a rainbow of car colours out there... spruce up our city streets!
