You know what they say, if you chose pewter, you couldn't make up your mind between black or white and just settled in the middle. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_wink.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Just to be a pain in the rear, black is the absence of color. I knew all that time spent correcting color in a photographic darkroom would pay off some day? Paint absorbs all of the color in light except the one that you see reflected. So, black essentially absorbs all color and reflects none. White reflects all colors, essentially returning white light to your eye. Oh, sorry, who gives a damn.....

You are talking reflected color though. An albino animal lacks any pigmentation (color) and appears white. So, therefore white would represent the absence of color. http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

Of course, I would like to think I drive a white reflecting H2 instead of an albino H2, but I thought I would continue the "pain in the rear" part.

Continue with the pita, H2 pewter is not exactly a blend of white & black. In photography that exact bland blend is called 17% grey (? been a while, may have confused the percentage).

H2 <span class="ev_code_GREY">PEWTER</span> is definitely a COLOR, with that hint of gold/bronze in the grey -- in fact, the only TRUE COLOR for the TRUE SPIRIT of the H2 -- off-roading... http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

PEWTER beats out White as America's favorite car color!

Here are the facts!

America's favorite car color

DuPont: White is number two, but shades of gray are moving up fast.
December 12, 2003: 10:21 AM EST
By Peter Valdes-Dapena, CNN/Money Staff Writer



NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - In its annual Color Popularity Report, DuPont Automotive reports that silver, the choice for 20.2 percent of new cars, was North America's most popular car color for 2003. White, the color on 18.4 percent of new cars, came in second. Black ranked third at nearly 12 percent.

Most popular car colors
Silver topped the list of most popular colors for cars produced in the U.S. and Canada.

Color 2003 2002
Silver 20.2% 22.8%
White 18.4% 15.2%
Black 11.6% 12%
Med/Dark Gray 11.5% 7%
Light Brown 8.8% 6.4%
Med/Dark Blue 8.5% 10.9%
Medium Red 6.9% 6.9%
Med/Dark Green 5.3% 5%
Bright Red 3.8% 3.3%
Dark Red 0.9% N/A

The rankings are based on the portion of cars manufactured in North America that are painted in each color. Auto manufacturing plants are acutely aware of day-to-day consumer sales, said Terrence Cressy, marketing manager for DuPont Automotive. Color changes can be made quickly in response to the most recent sales figures, he said. So, numbers of cars manufactured in each color provide an excellent indication of actual popularity.

Silver actually dropped in popularity from last year, while white moved up, but not enough to take the top spot. Medium-dark gray was the big mover, moving up 4.5 percent overall in North America. It went from sixth to become the favorite color choice in the luxury segment in North America, a segment that often indicates future trends in vehicle colors. Overall, it was the fourth most popular color.


"Medium-dark grays, enhanced with coarser metallic effects, retain the technical sophistication of silver while providing a sense of richness and value to differentiate new vehicle models from the mainstream," said Rover Daily, automotive color marketing manager for DuPont.

Medium-dark green, a perennial color leader in the 1990s under names like Hunter Green and Forest Green, dropped out of the top-10 color choice list for luxury cars. It still made moderate gains in the full/intermediate SUV/truck/van segments, however. Reds, updated with slightly cooler, bluish hues or made more brilliant, remain popular with consumers, according to a statement from DuPont.

I love the tinted windows, it hides the car seat. It is funny how many people frown on white when it is one of the most popular car colors!

I considered white until my wife said,"In white, those plastic bump pans on either side by the front window look like take-out boxes."
