What’s with this new trend in new car paint options?

Still too bright for me...but to each his own.

This is a classy-looking color:

 

Yes.

Night blue is a darker color.

 

I think we need the BBS's resident color palette expert, @DonnyMost, to weigh in on this topic.

 

I don't mind the nardo colors.

Everything goes in cycles. Soon we'll be back to obnoxiously loud colors or wood paneling.

The fact it's a cost cutting measure is pretty funny though.

 

Dark blue/green wood paneled classic Jeep Wagoneer needs to make a comeback

 

I would pimp tf out of that.

 

'obnoxiously loud' colors are safer to drive because people can register the color with their peripheral vision when they're looking at their phones.

My wife had a 'silver' road-colored minivan and was rear-ended 3 times. Got her a red 4Runner and it hasn't been an issue.

 

or...they're too busy looking at the "look at me" car and end up rearending someone

 

Fair. I've gawked at a fully offroad-kitted orange 4Runner TRD like a teenager at Mardi-Gras. But I don't think I'm crossing over in the venn-diagram with a girl who's on tik-tok while driving.
