After clinging to practical, wearable clothing colors such as black and navy during the recent economic downturn, merchants and consumers alike are stocking up on colors that are anything but understated. The trend is a clear signal that the economy is improving, say professional color forecasters and fashion experts. The Color Association of the U.S., a New York-based forecasting firm that has been studying color trends since 1915, found in a recent study, that apparel colors turn more sober when large numbers of Americans are out of work and more vibrant when shoppers feel wealthier.

likewise, you can actually make economical forcasts based on
the common colors of ties.
there's no reason that sociological pressures on the colors we are drawn to would apply strictly to what we wear - a car is also something your presenting to the world.
ofcourse its get circular after that - when most people buy a product in certain set of colors, dealers stock on those colors, factories produce more products in those colors, and then its harder to find those products in other colors.
