This year’s vehicles, silver and silver are the most popular (Alberta Times) If you buy a car this year, you will most likely buy a white or silver vehicle. 22% of 2012 model year cars and trucks were painted white, making white the most popular color in the world. Silver followed closely at 20%, while black cars accounted for 19%. The top 5 most popular vehicle colors also include gray and red. White has surpassed silver for two consecutive years since 2011 and has become the most popular color. PPG Industries Inc., a Pittsburgh-based automotive paint supplier, compiles the annual rankings. The company supplies paint to General Motors, Ford Motor, BMW Group (Bayerische Motoren Werke AG) and other automakers. The large proportion of small goods cards on the market affects this ranking. According to Watson, which collects automobile information, trucks accounted for 55% of North American automobile production in the first eight months of this year. Since merchants like to use pickup trucks as work trucks and paint their logos on the trucks, 1/4 of pickup trucks are white. Harrington, PPG automotive color and design manager, said that white, which was popular in the 1980s, has made a comeback as a modern, high-tech color thanks to Apple's all-white stores and shiny white technology products.
