Why are so many cars today painted black, white, silver, gray? Is it cheaper for the manufacturers?

6. I think two main reasons

1. Current fashion or fad has boring colored cars.
3. People think those boring colors have more resale value when it’s time to see the used car. If they think a flashy color won’t give as much value when selling that car, they won’t buy that color new. So manufacturers don’t make flashy colors because they think people don’t want them.

It could also be a camouflage thing. One boring gray SUV looks the same as another and won’t catch a cop’s eye for a ticket
