    We should be thankful that Dodge revived high impact colors. As expected, for all cars, silver/gray is #1 (34%), followed by white (24%) and black (18%). These three colors total 76%.

    I love that Challengers stand out from the pack.

    Here is a graph showing the percentages, by color, of 2021 cars in North America.

    Never understood the appeal of a white car.

    I agree. The only white car that I sort of liked was the 1969 Z28.

    White is easier to keep clean and doesn't show blemishes as much as most other colors, with black being the worst. I have owned both black and white vehicles, the black was difficult to keep clean and looked horrible when it wasn't clean. The white pretty much looked good all the time, unless it was really dirty. I've had many other colors as well, but white is by far the easiest to keep nice looking.

    I agree. Silver/gray is also a great color for not showing dirt.

    Had a white SUV in Florida, "coolest" color in the hot sun.

    I'm happy to be in the very low percentage of the green that was only used in 2011 and has not been used before or after 2011- known as Green With Envy! I love this color green!

    Another exception for me was the 1969 Mercury GT Carl Yarborough Special.
