When you're on those long road trips your mind starts to wander. You look at funny-shaped clouds and try to make out pictures, you peer into other people's cars and start to think about things that wouldn't pop into your head if you weren't dying of boredom.

Have you ever driven around North Dakota, passing car after car, and wondered which color is the most popular? I have, and here's what I found.

Least Popular

In general, the least popular color car in the country is Yellow, according to a study done by ISeeCars.com. I would've thought the least popular would be a color like Purple, but nope. Yellow is not the fan favorite.

North Dakota

North Dakota ranks at number 9 for states with the most colorful cars, according to the source. That said, the most popular color car in North Dakota is somewhat predictable. North Dakotans are all about White cars. White is the most popular color car in the state.
