Squid; you can add mine to your list: gulf turquoise, aqua interior, black vinyl top. Now, coincidentally, the exterior is painted Tyrol blue, soon to be changed to some other color.

GeeTeeOhguy,
I wonder too how color choice ranked depending on what part of the country they were sold in. But the way I'm compiling cars, I believe they are truly randomized due to decades of cars moving all over the country, and most of the cars I get data on are on nationwide sites anyway.

I spent a week this past spring traveling from SF down to Cambria, then over (through Fresno) to Yosemite NP. It was dry as a bone. I couldn't believe how dry it was. No one gave us water in restaurants; we had to buy bottled water. I felt bad for everyone. I saw pickups with big plastic (hundred gallon size?) tanks trucking water around...I thought that might be for landscaping or something.

While stopping in Fresno, we came upon a big car show in a shopping mall parking lot. I didn't have time to stop unfortunately. But anyway, I saw no muscle cars at all during my whole trip down from SF, down Rt 1, or anywhere else except that show in Fresno. I take that back, some guy had a 70 chevelle in one of the redwood forest parks, but he was from Virginia! But I did see about 5 billion new convertible mustangs and maybe an order of magnitude less convertible camaros (new ones). Saw many old pickups though. In fields and stuff.

So, anyway, California sure is a different place for this ol' yankee New England boy. I'm sure color rankings were skewed depending on left, middle or right coast!
