Britain's Most Popular Car Colour of 2019 Has Been Revealed

Britain's Most Popular Car Colour of 2019 Has Been Revealed

Drum roll, please! The most popular car colour of 2019 has been revealed and it was� GREY!

Data provided by The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders highlighted that one in five new cars last year were grey, with black coming second!

More than one-fifth of new cars in 2019 were painted grey, with a total of 521,000 painted in the colour overall.  This is the second consecutive year for the colour who once again beat black in 2018 to be crowned the winner. Before this, black and white were the main competitors to win the title, with both alternating the top podium position since 2009.

White, blue and red also made it in the top 5, but unfortunately for cream, maroon and pink, it was the bottom of the colour barrel for them. Blue was also the main colour Ford Fiesta buyers chose, which was also the number one most popular car choice of 2019.

Other colours that were included in the top 10 car colours of 2019 were green, bronze and yellow. However, each of these colours made up less than 1% of the colours of new cars, with yellow making up only 0.3%.

However, grey may have been the UK’s top colour of 2019 as a whole, but in Scotland white was preferred!

Although this is the official result, we still want to know your views.

Would grey be your choice of car colour? Or is there another colour of the rainbow that you prefer?
