Isn't that crazy that certain colors cost more when the car is new! In my search for
my 01 S that I just bought, color did make a difference in resale price. Example was that Black, Silver and Seal Gray were definately priced higher than Red, Blue , Green and White. Speed yellow was almost 2 to 3 k less in every situation!

On the technical side, some colors do cost more to manufacture. Red is most certainly more expensive than black due to the pigments in each. On the manufacture side, more common colors are typically produced more and cost less.
Charging for Metallics or limited run colors is just to compensate for less demand.

Just my 2Cents.

Kindly,
