Good answer.British racing green.
Today's factory car and truck offerings are rather insipid and limited. The automobile manufacturer's color pallet demise started in the 1990's. What color would you choose if you could have any custom color on your new car or truck at no additional charge?
I think the following would look hot on any new truck, especially a new Toyota:
-canary or lemon yellow
-competition or blaze orange
-bright chartreuse
-solid bright Roman or fire engine red
-root beer brown metallic
-bright solid kelly green
I'm not keen on monochrome (black, silver, white, gray) and/or metallic colors except for root beer brown. Black looks excellent and dressy on a full-size luxury car but is boring on a sporty car, muscle car or a truck.
The 1950's through the 1980's brought the widest color pallet for new cars. The 1970's really had a lot of flash. Youth of America today have become chromophobic or fearful of bold, flashy colors.
Hunh. Plenty of cars come in yellow and orange these days. My formative years were in the 80s when cars were mostly drab, so by my baseline, we're pretty adhy these days.Today's factory car and truck offerings are rather insipid and limited.

Why only men? Kind of chauvinistic!!!
I am going to answer anyway
White or silver are excellent colours for most cars for the simple reason that if you skip cleaning them one weekend (or a few) no one is going to notice.
Black is a good colour for bigger cars, sports cars, "muscle" cars. It is imposing and looks kind of suave and elegant. But it is a real bugger to keep clean.
His do i know the cleaning issue
Two cars ago my car was white
Last car was black
Current one is silver
Had other cars, red, green, grey, blue but they just don't seem to bring out the essential carness from the car
If you used the new Dodge Maxi Wagon as a mobile bachelor pad, would it be a "Maxi Pad"?WHITE!
Inherently less hot for the Texas heat.
Ironically.. looks cleaner longer when actually dirty than darker colors.
Paint tends to last longer.
I just sold two perfectly operational white vehicles and bought a huge 1974 Dodge Maxi Wagon van -white and blue.
I am now thinking of painting it at least mostly white... as it has become my white whale.
I have been obsessively working on it for months -and it has been frustrating to the point of near madness
The bland color pallet of today might also indicate that people are becoming too lazy to wash their cars or too cheap. Our new world global government and new world global corporate empire has conditioned people, sheeple, that fun is to be frowned upon. Bliss and innocence fly in the face of authority. Cars used to have a googly-eyed expression as if they were smiling back in the 1950's and 1960's. They seem to angrily frown at you nowadays. The car is no longer a thing of status. It's no longer a thing of pride and joy. It's just strictly transportation. Back in 1976, 7-11 did a campaign ad for Slurpee and used the tag line: Freedom of Choice. Freedom of Choice is good thing for women to decide to do with their unborn but a sinful choice when it come to automobile and truck colors in the new mindset. The Soviets reduced automobiles before the fall of the USSR to one color: black. The was free-spirited attitude in the later half of the 20th century because of the counter culture and youth movement: rebelling against authority in fashions and in culture. Products manufacturing then followed that rebellious spirit.
I ask because this is a Men's forum and I care what men think because I'm a man. Could women have anything to do with the limited new vehicle choices these days?

Instead of having one specific favourite colour, I think the colour should be significant to the car: World Rally blue for a Subaru, British Racing Green for a Jag or Mini, silver for a Mercedes, etc.
For a Toyota truck, my first preference would be TRD's classic colors from Baja and the Dakar:

... though I say that not as the person who would be driving around in it.
Of course a car can be a status symbol, have you ever seen someone being driven around in a Maybach who was not proud of his status symbol?
Your information in russian car colours is wrong. Lada and moskovich/azlk have produced cars in various colours for many years
I do believe the Zil was produced mostly in black (they did sell some in silver).
I am the only choice of what i drive. But you dont like the increased safety, the i creased efficiency, the much greater time between service, the improved reliability? That's fair enough, there are plenty of second or third hand bangers on the market that would suite your requirements.
I'm not a boy but I'm as good as so I joined.
*Not my car. I don't drive.
