There aren’t very many colorful cars in Thailand unless you count the taxis in Bangkok, the tuk tuks or the songtheaus.  Most personal cars are white or some other neutral color.  I wondered why for awhile now.  I now have the answer.  There is a god, the one with four heads, yea, that one.  He is the god of creating and destroying.  People pray to this god to be purified.  White is the color of purification so people like the color white.  So actually having a white car is in fashion.  I have this on very good authority.
