Why aren't there more cars that are blue?

Brazen Orange

That's the most well lid parking garage I've seen in my life. And that car looks Gold rather than the specified color.

Its one of those colors that seem to change from lighting conditions. One of my friends have one in that color and on a bright day it is a very deep orange. At night under artifical light it shifts to more gold.
Mind the atrocious looking rims:

Gold with low light, bright orange under bright sunlight.

I've always wondered this. Many people like the color blue or have it as their favorite color. But you don't often see many blue cars on the road. And not many cars come in cool blue colors. Most are like sky blue or something, which looks okay...but not that cool. BMW had a nice blue color.

I don't know, I guess i just really like blue and wish there were more blue colors. I see a lot of cars in ugly colors like brown or yellow or dark green.

Here's some I've found
bmw
bmw2
350z
subaru
mazda 6[/quote]



My Jeep is brown to match the mud

VW makes a nice mid-night blue, but it's so dark it's almost black. My tC is dark blue, but not to the point of black. It's called Nautical Blue Metalic.

My wife have this car and in this blue too. LOL

Damn it, I don't feel that special anymore. 😉
 
Interlagos Blue on the BMW M3 is probably my favorite blue color for a car. (the one above is Laguna Seca Blue)
 
I've got an Audi that is a really dark blue. In shadows it looks black, but in the sun its definitely a metallic blue... Really happy with the color, I'd never considered getting a blue car before this.

Pearl Blue
 
Don't blue cars have more problems with paint delamination? Most older blue cars I see have paint flaking off in sheets, except for the old powder blue enameled paint.
