Did Packard sell many colored cars between the waRS?

As I write this, the "Random Photo" is actually an ad for 1936 featuring a solid red 7 passenger sedan. Looks cool.

Seems like when I have seen ads from that general era, many showed the cars in color.

What do we know about what percentages of sales were non black (and non Packard Blue)? Are there any stats? The mental image I have of the era is that cars were usually Black or dark and that anything else was flashy and un-Packardlike. Or am I reacting to B&W photos, which wewre the norm in print for that time?
