Why did they stop making Chicane Yellow Zs?

If I'm not mistaken? Nissan announced it was a year one color option when the car debuted.... It was a $500 option and wasn't meant to keep going. The next year we got black cherry as a $500 option. I believe it's a standard color now.
If I was a gambling man? I'm almost sure lack of sales ended the $500 upcharge on limited run colors. I bet, probably magma red and midnight blue were supposed to be upcharge colors till sales declined???? Then they probably turned into using those colors as a strategies to boost sales???
DISCLAIMER: Second paragraph is just me guessing. HOLDS NO WEIGHT as fact.

I wouldn't dare disagree with you. Those were the only three colors I considered when shopping for my Z.

I can say the comment about the bumpers not matching was 100% correct.
