Created to scratch a curiosity itch create while car shopping: "are there really that many white trucks" followed by "are 2/3rds of these trucks really black, white, grey or silver?" The answer turned out to be yes on both. Interesting to learn that RGB colors are so much more popular on higher end trim packages.

Just here to lament the lack of color in modern autos. Give us ridiculous color options for “economy” vehicles please and thank you. 😭
OP cool post!
Are the names related to size, being cars vs trucks, or what?
Because the choices of colour vary by model.
non-USian here.
At first I assumed this was about the Ford Maverick I had in high school – a LONG time ago. I hadn’t realized there was a new one. It’s a trip they are reusing the same name for such a radically different vehicle lol.
Less than 19% are actual colors. Bla!
(I have a yellow MR2, purple Scion XB and a red Fiat 850)
It’s incredibly fucked up that they don’t offer the XL in red. It’s all I want if or when I can get one of these trucks.
Carbonized grey is easily the best imo. But the blue looks super nice too. All the whites and azure gray (so all the most common ones) look samey and boring.
But I see a lot of them that seem to be used commercially so maybe catering to that.
