An aerial photograph of new cars at Fremantle Port tells the story of modern car colours — a sea of white, dotted with some grey/silver and black, with only occasional splashes of red or blue.
Boomers and GenXers used to love red cars because anyone driving a pov-pack Hyundai Excel in red thought they were driving a Ferrari.
There used to be a meme (idea) that red cars were cop-magnets because people in red cars would drive like dickheads.
All those Boomers grew old and started buying Maroon cars because they were technically red, but wouldn’t be cop-magnets.
These colours are colloquially called “Old-Man Burgundy” or “Haemorrhoid Brown”.
