Once upon a time, the sunny roads of California and the snowy lanes of Vermont used to glitter under a cascade of monochromatic cars rushing across them. Now, those same roads pulsate under the golden glow of the sun and shimmer with the luxurious sheen of gold rose, beige, and metallic vehicles cruising their way into the heart of our nation.
The Transformation from Monotone to Metallic
The revolution on the highways has happened subtly, yet steadily. We’ve moved from a flood of boring black, silver, and white cars to the boujee vibes of gold rose, beige, and metallic. One could even say that we’ve ditched the predictable shades of grey for a rainbow of richness.
Anthony Prozzi, Ford Motor Company’s senior designer, firmly believes in the psychological response evoked by the colour of your ride. He’s famous for saying, “Any colour, as long as it’s black,” is no longer the norm. “Colour creates an emotional connection with the owner,” Prozzi once said.
The Titanium Transition
In the car world, swapping traditional materials for titanium isn’t just for looks. Metal’s super important. Titanium’s got the goods – it’s light but incredibly strong – so no wonder manufacturers are loving it – and are continuing to buy titanium in large quantities. While there are other metals to choose from, investors are favoring titanium for a ton of reasons. At the end of the day, you’re cruising in a solid, powerful car that feels as light as a summer breeze on the road.
Redefining Indulgences
How is it that a teenager, growing up on the backstreets of Brooklyn, can desire the same cafe latte beige Cadillac as a Wall Street tycoon? Call it the democratisation of desires or a shift in preferences, but luxury isn’t defined by the price tag anymore.
“Today’s generation desires and accesses luxury in ways different from the previous ones. The usual markers and signifiers aren’t as important anymore,” says Sarah Quinlan, senior vice president of MasterCard Advisors. They look towards understatement and individuality; and car colours like beige, gold rose and metallic embody these ideas.
Rolling On Rose Gold and Beige!
Even as teens and tycoons resonate with these luxury colours, there’s a deeper reason why gold rose, beige, and metallic are becoming the go-to pallet for vehicles. A metallic finish has this undeniable glow that makes your ride stand out on the road, like a star of class amidst the regular hustle. And rose gold – it’s pure elegance and style that makes one go weak at the knees.
Pastels are Dominating Interiors, too!
Pastel car interiors? Some of you might be despised but they’re getting major likes. These muted shades are doing their magic, offering a very chill, relaxed vibe that’s tough to resist.
Apart from grooving pastel aesthetics, they play on our minds too. Science says soft shades keep your head cool, literally and figuratively. Fast pace, traffic jams, backseat drivers…hello, stress! But, with a calming powdery pink surround, you can stay zen as your little driving sanctuary keeps the world’s noise out and good vibes in.
Think it’s too girly? Well, even the big names like Ferrari are introducing pastels in their beast machines. See, it’s all about expressing you. A cotton candy interior or a heavenly mint sidedoor, car interiors are moving past the utilitarian to the fashionable.
As we keep rolling, our streets are probably going to be gleaming brighter with these preferences.
