I've not known any car in recent times with no choice of colours. And
white paint is no cheaper than most plain colours.


White is much cheaper than colours (other than magnolia which is no
colour at all really) in matt emulsion!

Economy of scale. A shed will have lots more white in stock than any
colour.

If you look at the prices for proper car paint, the plain colours are all
the same (near enough) Once you go to fancy metallics, can be anything.
