Default Most popular colors

Anyone have the stats for the most popular exterior colors for sales in 16'? Taking it a step further, stats for the most popular color exterior & interior color combinations?

Seeing stats like this make me wonder how much is true because the vast majority of Corvette owner (like the rest of the general population) buy what color they like off the lot (or dislike the least) that has the options they can afford and want.

And since every Corvette is bought up pretty quickly, the colors they think will sell are the colors they make the most of. Not that buyers are actually buying their first choice in color. Self-fullfilling prophecy, as it were.

Anybody have statistics for ordered cars? THOSE numbers would actually indicate true desire/popularity of colors/options.

White is a color. It is an achromatic color. In fact, to see white, the human eye must stimulate all 3 color sensitive cells in the eye in roughly equal amounts.

White is the absence of color and black is the presence of all colors.

Agreed! All manufacturers of all types of vehicles are pushing white onto their dealers.

Sorry, no. Shine a white light through a prism, and see what comes out.
