What colors don't sell well?
Well I bought a Silver 2003 QC in November 2006. I had a choice between a 2006 white long horn edition and the 2003 that I bought. I never cared for light colors, but the truck looks great. I favored the 03 because it had the hemi and the fact that the owner of the other truck smoked in it. I have not bought a new car since 1990. So far I have had good luck with used ones from dealerships.
personally I always disliked black and red. I love the color but I have read that black and fire red catches the cops eyes more often and they write more tickets for those 2 colors versus any others. Insurance seems to be higher as well on those due to this. White is also hard to keep clean. I have to agree with rocky tht orange is pretty unusual. I have never seen one.
Okay, did a google on "popular car colors"...

For 2006 Trucks & SUVs, according to this site:
1. White/White Pearl 26%
2. Silver 16%
3. Gray 13%
4. Black 13%
5. Red 11%
6. Blue 10%
7. Light Brown 6%
8. Green 4%
9. Yellow/Orange 1%
10. Others <1%
I had to go with the flow... white, since I'm in sunny SoCal and need all the help I can get to keep cool, so it's our family's official fleet color, except for race vehicles and sports cars (they're red).
