I would have guessed Silver to be much higher than 14%. I have a silver car and a grey car. At least I am not fully conforming.

I actually would've picked another color than white.

But hey, that was the one on the lot!

Free enterprise usually provides more of the products that consumers are more likely to buy. I have no reason to think cars are an exception.

Car color has little to do with how hot the inside is. Glass area has much more effect.
