There are some new hot new car color. After seven straight years, silver is no longer the top car color in America. For the first time this century, more white cars were manufactured in 2007 than those in any other color, according to DuPont’s most recent color study.

In North America, 19 percent of vehicles manufactured in 2007 were either white or “pearl white,” which is white with an iridescent or metallic effects or sheen. Eighteen percent of 2007 vehicles were silver, and about sixteen percent of them were black, including black with metallic effects.

White has also taken a decisive lead in other countries, including Japan and Mexico. In Europe, however, black was far and away the top color. See the charts below for the full breakdown.

However, silver will still likely be the dominant color on the roads for some time. Given silver’s popularity over the past seven years and the fact that it is still a popular color choice, there is a high expectancy to see a high number of silver vehicles on the road.
