DVLA reveals the 1 car colour that may vanish from UK roads by the end of 2025

A few colours may soon vanish from UK roads, it has been suggested. The DVLA registration data collected through an FOI request suggests that orange, pink, cream, turquoise and brown coloured cars could all be on the brink of extinction, with cream potentially set to disappear as early as the end of this year.

The request was filed by as it predicted that all these cars could completely disappear by 2033. According to the data shared by , cream is disappearing the fastest, with just nine registrations in 2024. Grey, black, and white now make up nearly 68% of new car registrations, with grey leading at 559,043 in 2024, reports

Mark Wilkinson, Managing Director at Heritage Car Insurance, said: "British roads are losing their colour, and drivers are starting to take notice.

"As manufacturers focus on neutral shades like grey, black, and white, the variety that once made the streets more vibrant is fading fast.

"Prioritising mass-market appeal and resale value over individuality, carmakers are producing increasingly uniform designs, with once-distinctive brand colours disappearing and cars looking more alike than ever.

"For those looking to bring back a sense of personality, classic cars offer a compelling alternative. Their unique designs, craftsmanship, and heritage provide a level of character that many feel is missing from modern vehicles."

According to the data, the demand for turquoise and orange colour cars is also on a decline. With modern car designs becoming increasingly alike, interest in classic cars is rising.

DVLA records show the number of historic classic cars on UK roads has risen to 415,257 in 2024, up 5.8% from 391,002 in 2023.
