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

    but Silver is high on my list.

    Silver is used to be called the most boring colour, nice to see it having a comeback. My colour is technically called atomic silver but it’s more of a champagne than silver. Love it!

      When I was kid, a lot of dream cars debuted with silver as a press color: McLaren F1, Porsche 996 911, Aston Martin Db7, Benz CLK GTR, BMW Nazca C2, etc. Gordon Murray says its good for showing off technical designs and I agree.
