Which Car Color is Your Favourite : After more than a decade as the world’s favourite car colour, silver is falling in popularity to white. PPG Industries, the leading supplier of automotive paints, says 25% of the vehicles it supplied in the 2013 model year were white, up 3% from the prior year. Silver and black tied for second, with 18% each. White dominates in Europe, North America and Asia. Only in South America is silver still king. Jane Harrington, PPG’s manager of automotive colour styling says, Automakers are currently scouting colours for the 2016 and 2017 model years for some eye-popping options, from a pink-tinged bright red developed in Asia to a rich dark grey with faint green highlights. Eleven different browns — from light copper to dark chocolate — and an equal number of greys are part of PPG’s annual colour show for automakers at its automotive centre in the Detroit suburb of Troy. There are six yellows and seven greens, from seafoam to dark olive. One notable absence: Powder blue, which is increasingly confined to electric cars or hybrids. courtsey of Macleans.ca
