A lot of people hate on “NPC” colors like white, black, grey, and I’ve even heard blue.
I think there’s nothing more “NPC” than to pick a different (and sometimes ugly) color just for the sake of being different. It reeks of “I need to feel special”. If you love a specific yellow or green on your car that’s great but if you’re just doing it to avoid having an “NPC” color, you’re the NPC.
I know this post will be unpopular because the r/cars take is “grey bad!” so I expect a lot of downvotes by the “actually my Civic is orange because I’m just so exciting as a person totally not boring!” crowd
One real issue is some of the boring colors like greys and beiges and blacks can blend into the road sometimes and people won’t see you on the road and lane change into your ass or back into you cause they werent paying attention and thought your car blended in
Ironically, a lot of NPC cars in video games are random algorithms of RGB colors. Lime greens. Oranges. Baby blues. Reds. Dijon mustard yellows. Pink. Etc.
Moving on … I think these new pastel/taupe/solid colors are very becoming.
The cars I drive on the street blend in because I sometimes drive quickly.
The cars I build for others and have waiting in the wings don’t blend in, because they don’t need to.
Thinking of people as NPCs shows a lack of compassion and empathy and will get you nowhere in life when it comes to personal development.
Grey is dull, but Silver is high on my list.
just for the sake of being different. It reeks of “I need to feel special”.
Depends on the car for me. I like color, but usually the less shout ones: British Racing Green, Dark reds, metallic blues, etc. Neon green or bright red is fine, but I don’t want that much attention.
you sure do seem mad that people think your car color choice is boring as fuck
