At BASF's annual "Color Trends" exhibits and meetings for automotive-industry color designers, the company's color experts unveiled the findings of an analysis of trends in automotive color preferences. They say that car buyers will look to shake the "conservative, comforting" colors of the past few years in favor of more "lively, exuberant and exotic" colors.
Forecasters say the "hot" colors coming down the road reflect auto buyers' interest in more festive and exciting colors, as opposed to the current predominance of traditional silvers, grays and whites.
