Britain’s favourite car colour for 2024
The top colours it seems reflect our nation’s mood. Previous research from The Economist showed that British buyers have traditionally bought cars which are darker when the national mood is less optimistic. When times are better, we dare to buy brighter colours.
Colours are the safe choice
Lots of buyers still stick to silver, grey, and black as they think these colours are the safe choice and hold their resale value.
Britain’s favourite car colours have been revealed, with blue becoming one of the top three most popular colours for the first time in 15 years.
White cars, however, dropped from favour falling third to fourth place with 291,629 registrations, a year-on-year decline of 7.2 per cent. Red cars have fallen significantly out of favour in the past five years.
The mutest colour of all, grey, retained top spot with a market share of 27.8 percent, while black remained at number two with 21.7 percent market share.
The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) said 291,928 new cars registered last year were blue.
That was 1.6 per cent more than in the previous year, and represents a market share of 14.9 per cent.
