A lot of people hate on “NPC” colors like white, black, grey, and I’ve even heard blue.

I think there’s nothing more “NPC” than to pick a different (and sometimes ugly) color just for the sake of being different. It reeks of “I need to feel special”. If you love a specific yellow or green on your car that’s great but if you’re just doing it to avoid having an “NPC” color, you’re the NPC.

I know this post will be unpopular because the r/cars take is “grey bad!” so I expect a lot of downvotes by the “actually my Civic is orange because I’m just so exciting as a person totally not boring!” crowd

    As someone who owns two cars in the both most commonly complained about colors on this contentious subreddit (GMC Tri-Coat White and BMW Dravit Grey), I really dont care what people think at this point. Cars are tools and those two colors hide dirt, bugs, and rock chips better than all the crazy colors.

    I have even had an enthusiast criticize me for picking the two most “boring colors” to my face while the guy has a BRZ in some revolting wrap thats coming off and his Pallisade is grey too. I just said “whatever dude” and disregarded his opinion. Calling someone an NPC because the color of the car you think is too basic is a problem with them, not you.
