The Auto Color Library is an interesting browse to see what has been used by many manufacturers across history.

I didn't either but in visiting Portland I found that everyone there calls Portland PDX for some reason. The airport and it's former carpet are a big deal. I'd say it's more of a local nickname like Chi-town is for Chicago.

Most likely whatever shade of blue that will be offered, since that's the color I usually choose for my cars.

Yeah, for some reason the former PDX carpet is a cult legend. People would take foot selfies with the carpet and there was public outcry when the carpet was changed... It's even got its own wiki page Portland International Airport carpet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

so for the background - the fascination with the carpet didn't start so much for a fondness of the carpet itself as much as people on social media posting photos like the one below with comments about departing or returning home.
The carpet is unmistakable as the PDX carpet and the trend caught on. For locals with a number of Ptld area friends on twitter or Facebook, you would see a photo like this multiple times a day announcing someone's arrival/departure. So when the Port announced they were changing it out, the trend blew up to an epic level and tons of 'pdx carpet' products started popping up in everything including keychains, socks, beer, coasters, etc.
The geometric pattern that was in the carpet is also an abstract version of the city's logo, so it's not just some random design someone in the 70s put together.

So if you want to take a picture of your feet to announce to social media (there's a reason why I don't log into Facebook) you're arriving/departing, keep doing it. The carpet makes no difference. But instead of doing that, people apparently freaked out to the point where there is an actual display of the old rug in the airport?
I mean give me a break. It's a dumb trend. If that's just what people do out there because they have no individuality and like to follow the crowd, then so be it. But it is silly.
Wikipedia said it replicated the runways.

It almost looks like a car with just primer and clear coat.I've seen Telesto gray in real life on a BMW M3. Would look wicked on the Model 3.

What I would like to see personally? Bright and bold is awesome. What would I like to see from Tesla to make the M3 a success in the mass market? Traditional colors with a decent variety.
