At auto auctions, why do people not buy cars painted green?

I was just at a car show and fell in love with a car painted green! It was dark green with a tan leather interior and looked fabulous!
Red is eyecatching and can look great.Maybe that is why people like it.Black is nice too,but my next vehicle will (probably)not be that color as it is a pain to keep clean .I still love it though.Good morning,John :)

Morning Lucy. new avatar?

I owned a green older Ford Galaxy 500. It was bought at a auction. It was a boat. I loved that big boat. I love the color green. here

@john65pennington Yes.I thought I might demonstrate how to trample goose $h!t XD

Does it go back to the old auto racing superstition that you couldn’t win with a green car?

Adiron, you may be correct. now that you mention it, you rarely see a green race car. thanks.

It used to a strongly held belief. I had another thought, in temperate climates the cars might be harder to see against the grass and trees.

Green cars were traditionally “unlucky”, prone to accidents, posessed by fairies etc. To be honest though, I think @Adirondackwannabe is right. They’re just harder to see against the background, and so they get involved in more accidents.

Because they’re not some other color.
