Luminous paints have remained in the spray can since the turn of the millennium. Three quarters of all cars in Germany drive up in silver, black or white.
Silver remains the most popular car color in Germany. Last year, 28.1 percent of all new cars were painted in this shade, as reported by the VDA manufacturers' association. Black followed closely behind with a share of 27.4 percent. White in third place was already a little behind with 20 percent.
The trend towards “achromatic” colors continues. In 1995 two thirds of new cars were decorated with shiny paintwork. Since the turn of the millennium, over half of all new cars have rolled off the production line in silver, black or white. Three out of four new cars are now painted in one of the three colors.
Higher resale value
One of the reasons for the relative lack of color is the higher resale value of cars in muted tones - white, black and silver are rarely individual “favorite colors”, but they do not deter potential buyers either. There are also fashionable reasons, because the achromatic colors, due to their "technical character", go well with the current zeitgeist.
The relative popularity of the color blue can also be explained in this way - with a 9.6 percent share it was recently the most popular “colorful” paint finish. Red is valued by 6.5 percent of new car buyers, but bright tones such as orange (0.6 percent), purple (0.3 percent) or yellow (1.5 percent) are rarely ordered. (SP-X)
