Interesting topic.
One man's sophisticated range of greys is another man's 'dull as ditchwater'.
I guess that it is a fashion thing with an impact well beyond cars and is reflected in clothes, interior design etc. It would be interesting to see whether historians have attributed the use of colour in our lives to the political and cultural moods of a particular period. It is also interesting to see that younger drivers seem to like black. My son has just bought a black car and everything inside it is black too, including the headlining etc. It is like being in a cave, but he loves it.
Morgans are probably one of the only cars that are bought in such a diverse range of colours and an analysis of the trends in colour use in the company may produce an interesting chart as I can't see any parallel with the colour selection in the wider automotive industry. It might also be interesting to see wether different countries favour different colour ranges.
For my part I like lighter colours and, in particular lighter interiors but I am having to hold on to my tin-top as i can't find a replacement colour arrangement unless I buy brand new and I have never done that!
