I don't know, perhaps the car is cyan, perhaps it is painted with a 3 stage pearl and most viewed from the same direction. Most people are not very sophisticated in their discerning of color. I cannot trust that the author is certain that the car is blue to start with. Pure statistics are not enough here.

It's an interesting idea executed poorly. What if we changed it to:

"1000 people were asked how many lights were lit up in a row of 4 lit up lights. 900 people said there were 4 lights."

Is this a Star Trek: TNG reference?

In that case I would trust the math, but I'd suggest that first we somehow classify the complexity of the scenarios before we jump straight to "9 out of 10 respondents voted "fake news" therefore it is fake news".
