Default Random question regarding car color

Has anyone else noticed that the color most closely associated with the eighth generation Accord is Polished Metal?

More to the point, can someone please explain the appeal of this color to me? I really dont see why it's so popular. It strikes me as drab, boring, and bland, but it seems like every other eighth gen I see is painted this color. On the road... In parking lots... In the drive-thru at McDonlds... It almost feels like Honda made too many liters of this color paint, and just decided to make 'em all this color.

Okay, end of rant. Back to your regularly scheduled programming...

LOL I have one & I agree. I bought it as I had no color choice(Buying Used), this was the most well kept & well equipped car that I came across, not that I have any issue with this color.

Yeah, I've seen that "polished metal" paint color and have yet to figure out what the colorists at Honda were thinking; tres boring.
