It does because they only have so many paint rooms and to switch colors requires purging the lines which takes like a week.

I sampled over 300 Builds this year and determined that 2022 will be the year of Eruption Green

Like I wrote, I get that I'm in the minority. I live in the Northeast so I have the rust coming no matter what. I was really disappointed to look under my rig recently after six months of New England fall and winter driving. Every surface is already rusting.
But to answer your question, I like the sleeper aspect. Shitbox that can perform. If your next question is why don't I just mod up a real shitbox, well I have some of those. But I also like not having to wrench all week and/or the factory warranty.
Here's a rig that exemplifies the faux patina.

And here is a bunch that really get me thinking.

Would I pay a few grand to have my rig "rust wrapped"? Maybe, if I could make it look that Scout.
But I digress. The EG color is definitely entirely different than the rest of the choices. And I could see Ford pushing it a little to get some out there on the road.
Toyota and some others currently have a more army green and I think Ford was smart to give this high-profile rig a more unique color option.

Gotta be honest, really happy to see that Hot Pepper is one of the more rare colors. Even more excited to get mine in... maybe 20 years?I aggregated whatever data was available from Feb - Mar in the build week threads and noticed that of all the colors available, 1/3 of builders have chosen to go with Eruption Green. Amazing.

Oh I was only kidding lol. I thought you were talking about the color not the rust.

I thought very seriously of changing my color to Eruption Green. But the wife told me that I liked Area 51 the best. So, there ya go.............

I think green could confuse people into believing land Rover actually built a off-road worthy new defender replacement 
I was never a green fan when it came to cars. I was shadow black all the way before the release of EG. But this green in the sun with the hint of yellow pop looks amazing to me.
Although this boxwood green render would have done the job for me too.

Ordered mine in silver as I believe it will hide all the sins I plan to commit against my rig better. Scratches, dirt, sun fade all look silver..
Somewhat ironically, I went back and forth between what turns out to be the most common color in your chart (Eruption Green) and the least common color (Race Red).
Absolutely thrilled I ultimately took Race Red for my early delivery 22 WT 2-door. The color is just stunning with the black WT trim and wheels, gets 'I love that color!' comments wherever it goes! And after seeing the green in person, it is just too much of an emerald green for my liking. If it was a slightly darker, non-metallic green, might have gone that way.

I’m glad I got the Green, everyone loves it, especially me!I aggregated whatever data was available from Feb - Mar in the build week threads and noticed that of all the colors available, 1/3 of builders have chosen to go with Eruption Green. Amazing.
100% correct. Give me the 60s-era Bronco palette please! This is why I switched from Cactus Gray to Oxford White, to be more compatible with vinyl accents to give it some actual style since Ford won't provide it. (And since half the Broncos I see on the road are Cactus Gray.)
My favorite Bronco color for sure. Too bad my wife vetoed it in no uncertain terms.Somewhat ironically, I went back and forth between what turns out to be the most common color in your chart (Eruption Green) and the least common color (Race Red).
