i hate that powder-puff blue - it's the most popular of the new colors it seems, because i see trucks and cars all over painted with that dull blue

Yes, the bathroom tile colors. There's that tomato soup red you see on a lot of Subarus too. I like the grey Tacomas a lot.

Those look fairly bland color-wise
Don't think that I'd be drawn to buying a car in either color |

I like the Satin Steel Grey on the Camaro. " /> People in this thread don't know the difference between a flat and a pastel Most of us aren’t fashion experts like you. I like it better than the hideous chrome that boomers seem to love You mean like the color of your nose ring and Prince Albert? |

We buy strictly new white vehicles now. Just took the FX bed stickers off my new white ranger. Gonna get a How's my Driving dial 1 800 3287448 (EAT SHIT) sticker for the tailgate so others think it's a county utility truck.

It got it’s start as a humble brag/flex with exotic imports. ie: “I’m Soooo fuckin’ rich, Ima drive this heah car which cost more than yo house, an I’m gonna do it sportin’ Primer, so I can blend in with the poors..... Tastefully understated.
Now, we see it on Hyundais, so it’s come full circle: Poor people pretending to be rich people pretending to be poor people. It’s the Ripped-Bleached Jeans of the automotive world. The dumbest trend since “murdered out” or “Forced Patina”. It’s gonna age poorly. Looks OK on some Jeep/Tacomas though. |

I kinda like the grey and khaki colors but since I keep cars and trucks a very long time I wonder if I would grow to regret going with one of these new hip colors.

I saw a C8 Corvette in what I could only describe as 70s brown last week and cried on the inside. I don't even see that color listed on the website.

Some of the earliest metallic paints used fish scales. Don't ask how I remember that. I'm full of useless knowledge. |

still kind of plain, but a huge improvement over fucking boring white.
Wife and I have a strong preference for bold colors on vehicles. |
