They were the most popular because those colors were "picked"
by PPG about 5-7 years earlier as the colors that will be "popular" in 2001! I read an article on car colors years ago. PPG was quoted as saying they determine what colors will be "popular" years in advance. duPont and BASF do the same thing. These are the colors each company convinces the car manufacturers to produce and sell the most of.
Remeber the TT and most cars sell more prebuilt cars than special orders. The manufactuers determine what colors are "popular", not the consumer!
Ever watch the lineup of PPG painted cars for the Indy500? These cars are all painted with "future" paint colors. They all eventually hit the market and are sold, either on a new car or in the aftermarket.

I thought that white was nice on my old A4....
The creamier 'casablanaca' VW white. Not the cold Pontiac/Maxima/Maytag current white. IMO the TT is so beautiful that it can hold any color, even Bug lime or apricot.
