I was just talking to my buddy about this the other day. For the last 5-10 years it seems like most all cars are either silver/gray, white, or black. You see a few reds and the occasional blue here and there but not much else.
In the 1990s green was the most popular color and it seemed like every car was green. Now you can't even get green most of the time.
I think there are two factors at play here - One that people are becoming ever more sheep-like and don't want to buy a car with a unique or attention-getting color because it might not have good resale value (same thing with housing subdivisions where every house has to be an HOA approved shade of brown or whatever), and the other factor is it's cheaper for the manufacturers to offer fewer colors.
Green is one of my favorite colors. If I had the money I'd get my daily driver painted Brewster Green!
