An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.
1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.
2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.
3. Avoid repetitive topics.
4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.
There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.
Some other communities to consider before posting:
5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.
6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.
7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Ah, seems we might have gone through a phase but from your graph it looks like colours are returning.
The explosion of white is not a surprise, considering it's seen as one of the safest colours, but black and silver seem at similar levels at the end of that graph as the start.
But I will admit that is evidence for newer cars being predominantly greyscale. I think there are probably a lot of older cars where I am.
Yeah, the idea is that crazy colors don't sell well in the general public, so boring colors get a resale bump in price, which basically spirals on itself. More people buy the boring colors because of the resale bump, which makes more boring colors. But I love my bright colors. It makes my vehicle easier to find in a parking lot being bright orange.
