Does anyone Know the COLOR Ratio of Vehicles

Just for fun i was looking at autotrader and ebay to see what kind of cars were "still" for sale. when i looked i noticed the cars were all coming back black or silver, very few red or white, or obsidian black.....so does anyone know out of the 350 coming to the states how many of each color they are, i assume red will be the least picked color, but by how many??? will there be like 10 red cars or like 50? anyone have a clue.

You name it i've had it or got it...
i forget the exact order but i do know silver has been #1 for like 6 or 7 years now and takes up almost 30%. i think white is now the #2 color which replaced black at around 25%. #3 is black at around 15%. #4 is gray is around 12%. #5 is blue at 10%. all of the other colors are not that popular. i think the top 5 take up like 92% or something like that if i recall right....

Ya, according to AMG private lounge, Mars red is less than 10% of the production of the 350 cars coming to the USA.
Silver is first at 40%, Black at 25%, Obsidian 15%, White 12%, and Mars Red 8%.
