Not many Hawaiian blue
A lot of tan - particularly base models (I think if you did not specify a color the tan was the standard color. I'm serious).

So - to choose a color that will sell: Dark Blue, which is somewhat elegant and high end. Hawaiian Blue - which would "pop". Not white. Not tan.

I found it interesting that on the color chart for 1986 Chevrolet Trucks, the Code 23 medium (Hawaiian) blue was not on them. The medium blue metallic was a choice.
