Vehicle tint preferences seem to ebb and flow as do the tastes of designs and colors. Discovering what is hot and growing in popularity for vehicle tint colors is simply a matter of reviewing the trends in fashion and interior design.  Society seems to follow the same stream of influence in regards to color favorites in the artistic and aesthetic realms for all areas of life.

Topping the charts in popularity for car body color is silver.  This is followed by blue, bronze, and shades of black.  Black has been manipulated to include castes in blue and burgundy undertones.  To match these highly sought after car colors, window vehicle tint colors have followed suit with increasing numbers of silver, charcoal, and bronze shadings.  Modifications to the automobile windows are most commonly performed on luxury or top-of-the-line sport vehicles.  Many of these types of automobiles come in some shade or variance of black.  For this reason, the majority of the window dressings are designed to match and tend toward the charcoal area of the color wheel. More people are keeping their cars longer than they have before. In turn, they are wanting the interior of their cars to stay in pristine shape.  As this grows, the use of other colors will begin to overtake the charcoal shades that proliferate the market today.

Some colors are slowly gaining on the traditional set.  These have been featured on stages in Europe and in high class fashion magazines worldwide. Currently, bright variations of yellow and orange are in high visibility on the roads.  This increases the use of amber and gold colors on the windows.  However, since charcoal and bronze are great complimentary colors for the windows, they are still the most common choice, even for modern car windows.  A shade of orange called tangerine tango is predicted to be the up and coming contender for the most important color in the world of design for 2012.  With the continued prominence of these bold, unusual colors, the vehicle tint color of choice may continue to grow toward these tones.

A few colors that may crest on the wave of demand in other artistic venues are not able to be used extensively on car windows.  Examples of these are ones that violate state laws. Each state sets its own laws regarding colors that are permissible to use in window shading.  Even though red is a great color for a hot new sports car, it is commonly listed as an illegal color for car windows in numerous states.  Others on the list of outlaws in some states are blue, amber, and green.  So, even if the car color trends point to these color combinations as window enhancements, the laws prohibit the growth of their usage in some areas.

There exists a wide variety of window dressing to choose from for an automobile. However, the old standard colors of various shades of black, such as charcoal, still dominate the market.  These may be eclipsed someday by amber, gold, bronze, or blue as a wider understanding of the protective nature of vehicle tint for windows grows in the general public.
