If Toyota offered Banana Yellow

My first car I bought with my own money was yellow. I got it for the exact amount credited for the trade in as a favor to my dad. I could have sold it right away for a profit...but I kept it through the end of high school. It wasn't a car that should ever have been manufactured in yellow. VERY few cars (and zero current Toyota models, IMO) look good in yellow. The de tomaso Pantera, de tomaso Mangusta, Saleen S7, Vector W2, and some Ferraris and Lamborghinis come to mind as examples of cars that, IMO, look good in yellow.

(all with black interiors)

^^^^^ 'all with black interiors' deserves as many thumbs up as 'hand crank windows' .

There are so many boring colors of late, miss the OLD days when there was a choice of 12-20 colors for every car.
Yellow is associated with "lemon" with a lot of people, seeing a yellow Pinto or Vega comes to mind...
To me, having a reliable car in yellow is a different story. Always liked flashy colors on cars. Love the light yellow Yaris color on the 2nd gens.
Yes, Black goes with all colors, too. It's just timeless.

There is a small group of people who like the brighter candy colors, particularly fans of small cars. Largely though, people prefer sedated colors - silver, white, grey, black...

Part of it is resale value. The basic colors I mentioned means an easier sell down the road and for more money. Selling a bright yellow or lime green used car is going to be a challenge.

I agree. Some cars look good in bright or unique colours, but I'm one of those people who prefer white or silver cars... or perhaps red if it is a small car.

For resale value, basic colours generally attract more buyers and fetch higher prices.

I am as well. I just bought a Classic Silver Metallic 2014 (5-speed MT) L (day before yesterday). With my 2007, I ranked the five MT 3-doors available in the Northeast by color, equipment, and diistance from the physical location of the dealer from where I plopped myself down to do the searches (Chicopee, MA). My #1 choice was a Meteorite Metallic (closest to Silver at that time) Yaris in Cambridge, MA. When I arrived at the dealer, I was told the car was still out on the boat . My second choice was my Bayou Blue baby, located in Rhode Island. In the past, I've owned a white GTI, a Silver Acura, and a Silver 5.0 Mustang.
