Have you ever looked at the color theory of economics? It was originally about cars. When the economy is nice, people buy fun color cars, because they like fun colors. Then the economy is shit, people buy black/white/gray/red because those colors maintain resale value.

It also might be that when the economy is bad, you’re more likely to tolerate the default colour rather than pay $1000 extra for a premium colour.

I wanted a blue car, but it cost so much more that I settled for dystopian gray.

Same. I saw the $1000 to get my car in not-black and then figured I should instead get my kids snowsuits and winter boots and drive a black car.
