Ranking of car colors in Brazil

In all, Brazil has approximately 119 million cars running around. And they are classified as follows, according to Senatran (via G1):

  1. White – 25 million
  2. Black – 22 million
  3. Silver – 20 million
  4. Red – 18 million
  5. Gray – 12 million
  6. Blue – 9.1 million
  7. Green – 4.5 million
  8. Beige – 2.3 million
  9. Yellow – 1.5 million
  10. Brown – 851 thousand
  11. Orange – 535 thousand
  12. Purple – 380 thousand
  13. Golden – 357 thousand
  14. Fantasy (when it is not possible to distinguish predominant color) – 135 thousand
  15. Pink – 133 thousand
  16. Garnet – 52 thousand

It should be noted that all these percentages and numbers are estimates.

But why?

Senatran data showed that interest in and sales of colored cars has dropped sharply over the last 30 years. And one of the reasons may be related to the cost.

A zero-kilometer vehicle in more neutral colors is faster to produce and has a lower cost for automakers. And another: anyone who wants a colorful car needs to wait a few more months to get the key, according to the G1 report.

In addition, still according to the report, Brazil has a culture of resale. And this means that cars with more striking colors are not as interested in moving to the front.

But then you think: isn't it just painting again? It's not like that. Changing the color of a car, in addition to being expensive, generates a huge bureaucracy because it involves updating the document of the vehicle.

There is also a simple customer preference, which has changed a lot in the last 30 years. According to the G1, from the 2000s onwards, buyers began to prefer more neutral colors for their cars, especially white. This is due to the idea of ​​technology that more sober tones give.
