No one wants to bear the extra costs for color lovers. Dealers don't want to be stuck with the banana-yellow cars for months on end, and manufactures don't want to switch their painting booth paints for colors that are <1% sales when they can crank out 5 more white cars in the time it takes to switch colors.
Wraps are cheaper alternative to repainting, so those who love bright colors can get an electric blue wrap right off the parking lot.
