Default Boat color

Which dominate colors would make a boat harder to sell? White is probably easier to sell. Teal was in at one time, not so much now. What other color seems out of style now?

i thinks its more about quality then actual color. You can also a change a single color or two within a graphic and gain a lot.

How about yellow. Hull is ok, not sure about interior. Like it but not sure for how long.

Personally, I like yellow but as the main color, it may not be popular in years to come.
If you're doing more than just a straight color and a stripe or two, I think the design can make or break the boat. Some of the 'tribal' graphics and over the top stuff on new boats are a killer. IMO.
Simple is timeless.

Look at the Donzi Classic, very simple and mainly one of the primary colors.
