Default What color cars have you owned?

I think that most people stick to one or two favorite.

I've owned practically all the colors.

What say you?

Can't think of a color that I haven't owned. Color preference depends on the car, certain cars look better in certain colors. Only rule I have is not black, black is not a color, it is a career.

You have a lot more choice when you buy new. If you're a used buyer, color is kinda low on the list of criteria most of the time, at least it *should* be.

I think I've owned most of the colors at least once. Done the black thing a few times, never again.

Most unusual color owned was '95 Trans Am Blue-Green chameleon paint that changed depending on the angle and lighting... back when that was a thing.

Currently C5Z LeMans Blue and 2500HD Victory Red.

A couple of red, one blue, a couple black, but most were white...silver, and gray.
(mostly trucks)

What I found interesting thinking about this is the drift towards silver and gray as I aged.

Indeed.
I believe I have washed my gray pickup twice in 3 years.
Currently it is so dirty the paint is a dusty gray/brown taupe kind of color.
And the interior looks like prison riot.

The newer flat-ship gray (think battleship) that is popular now looks like cr@p to me, it IS good to see some of the vibrant blues and yellows coming back though.
