@tasteofnebraska But why would I spend $40K for a vehicle and then have to pay an additional $3K for an interior color that I prefer?
Every automaker since 1990 has made Gloomy Gray , Charcoal Gray or Boring Black the standard interior color.
I remember when people could choose different interior colors for no extra costs.
During the 70s, 80s and early 90s people could choose between, Gray, Brown, Tan, Blue, Red, and Boring Black.
Now 90% of Every vehicle on the road has Gloomy Gray or Boring Black interior colors.
My 2011 Ford pickup had gloomy gray and boring black interior colors and the “ALL NEW” Ford Maverick has the SAME interior colors as our 23 year old truck.
When I bought my Forester, I had to buy the Touring trim just to get Brown interior.
I wanted to buy either the Sport or Wilderness trim, but Subaru only offered Gray or black.
I don’t know where you live, but in my area of the world dirt is tan or brown and those colors show up like crazy against the gray cloth on the Sport or the gray Vinyl in the Wilderness trim.
When I bought my wife her Outback, I purposefully bought her an Outback with Ivory interior.
We simply refuse to be like all of the other dead fish floating down stream like everyone else.
It is a proven Fact that when there’s civil unrest, wars and rumors of wars, unstable economic conditions, people flock to drab, boring, dark colors, But when the economy is stable, the world is at peace over all, there’s civil rest, then people Run to bright cheerful colors.
Seattle is the Suicide Capital of the USA. The skies are normally gray, the vehicles are Silver, Gray, Charcoal Gray, or Black. 60-70% of houses are painted Gray with White trim. The interior colors of vehicles and the interior colors of homes are drab, dark, depressing Gray. Heck even tube socks are gray.
It’s no wonder why so many people in Seattle are depressed. Everywhere they look is Gray.
It’s no wonder why they commit suicide.
Our 11 Ford pickup had those depressing interior colors so I had it reupholstered in Red with black trim and stitching to match the custom 2 tone paint. Our truck was used when we bought it and it happens to be Silver, so I had it 2 toned in Red metallic, so now it’s Silver over Red.
We’ve gotten many compliments on the interior colors of our Outback, Forester and our pickup. Why you ask ? Because it’s different. It’s not like everyone else. It’s an individual choice.
My Ford Mustang convertible was bright metallic Red with a Tan top and Tan interior. Everyone thought that it was a beautiful car.
My old Miata was Red with a Tan top and Tan interior. Everyone thought that it was gorgeous, as it was.
In 2017 we bought 1/4 of a mountain in north central Washington state and finished building our dream home in 19. It sits 1/2 way up our property into the side of our mountain.
We painted it a cheerful yellow with white trim.
There are 9 families who live on our private road, which is 5 miles from town (25 miles from the city). One of our neighbors who lives at the bottom of the canyon floor complained that our house is painted too cheerful and looks too welcoming. She owns 2 bars, is drunk most of the time and her potty mouth would make a trucker blush. When she complained about the color of our house, I looked at her house and replied, Well it’s better than Gloomy Gray with White trim, kinda like Yours and looks just like the other 6 houses on our road. She told me to F off and I wished her a happy and good day.
