I find it interesting that red seemed to be such an unpopular color throughout the 21st century. I used to drive a 2015 Toyota Corolla in "Barcelona red", and this exact body and color seemed to be very popular in the area. I hardly can go a few hours on the road without seeing two or three copies of my old car. I also find it humorous how unpopular yellow has been historically. I would love a yellow car.
In fact, there is a local construction/home remodel company whose "brand color" is this sort of dead-grass yellow color, something like hex

, and they custom-paint all of their company cars to be that shade, and they stand out pretty clearly against the wasteland of plain-colored, boring cars on the road.A friend of mine has a yellow car and swears that it attracts weird flying insects. Not that this is a terrible thing... just weird.
