The problem with this survey is that it includes fleet vehicles so white, black and silver finish high. Take the fleet vehicles out and red moves up high on the list. It really all depends upon the shape of the vehicle and the type of buyer. I have noticed at the auto auctions that red vehicles bring top dollar. On Wrangler 70-80% of the OE colors were red, black and silver. The other colors split up the rest.

I was going to say Black Jade.... I've loved the color since I first saw it in the 80's... And I would love to paint mine this color but not sure when it will be ready. What a great color, it looks black in the dark and green in the light...

Consider what the big manufacturers have done; I have a few Cadillacs with a light/medium beige color...looks really good with any outside color, and is a calm color; you have a lot of metal in the truck interior, and a relaxing color on the inside is nice when you have to look at it day after day.
