Don’t mistake customers being forced to take what manufacturers offer for popularity.
Anecdote time: I was prepared to buy a brand new Tacoma shortly before the pandemic, but didn’t because Toyota couldn’t find one for me with the options and color I wanted (a blue TRD Off-Road with a manual transmission) anywhere in the entire multi-state region. I ended up buying a used car instead. Most people are not as stubborn as me, and would have settled for whatever shitty color was actually available.
I have no memory of green cars being popular in the 90’s although it seems like they would have stood out (and been pretty ugly, probably). Weird how memory works.
Green went from really popular to… not at all popular.

It was mostly dark green like with classic Jaguars from what I remember. Nothing like the light green that’s in the charts.
As a previous owner of a green ‘95 Ford Escort, I disagree.
This kind of color was popular in the '90s (note the purple pinstripes, BTW):
Dark green was around too, of course, but the bright teal was definitely having a moment.
