Black is Back

Since the early 2000s, the automotive world has drowned in a funereal wash of charcoal black car interiors. It’s easy to blame the Germans, who pioneered it in their prestige brands, and indeed it was often referred to as a ‘germanic’ in the literature.
These days, a non-black interior option is the standout, and a largely positive one at that. Why are car interiors so overwhelmingly black right now?

VW do a wonderful interior, but this colour scheme is so ubiquitous regardless of brand.
Conversely, exterior colour palettes continue to evolve. Let’s hope charcoal black becomes a trend and reverts to one of many options available to the purchasing public. In the meantime, here is a selection of mainstream cars going out on a limb with interior colours.

Hyundai Santa Fe. Tan dashboard in a Korean. Bravo!

2019 Lexus LS500. Plum and Black, one of many adventurous colour palettes for this model.

2019 Alfa Romeo Giulia interior.

Greetings from Los angeles! I’m bored to death at work so I decided to
check out your blog on my iphone during lunch break.
I enjoy the knowledge you present here and can’t wait to take a look
when I get home. I’m shocked at how quick your blog
loaded on my cell phone .. I’m not even using WIFI, just 3G ..
Anyways, great site!

Long time supporter, and thought I’d drop a
comment.
Your wordpress site is very sleek – hope you
don’t mind me asking what theme you’re using? (and don’t mind if I steal it?
:P)
I just launched my site –also built in wordpress like yours– but the theme slows (!) the site down quite a bit.
In case you have a minute, you can find it by searching for “royal cbd” on Google
(would appreciate any feedback) – it’s still in the works.
Keep up the good work– and hope you all take care of yourself
during the coronavirus scare!
