American transit operators just go wild for silver trains which only use color on the face, I guess. These are from DC.pic.twitter.com/OOjIb6BRMC
Or, when employing color, shy away from solid color-coding and instead go for rainbows (as seen here in Atlanta)...pic.twitter.com/Gi0v0AoaEg
...or the ol' red-white-and-blue, as seen on older (iirc) Chicago L trains. The newer ones stick with all-silver.pic.twitter.com/Fd3Bme9jtl
As an aside--whatever the failings of the Chicago L, it does make for some nice iconic photospic.twitter.com/yfFtJJHbL8

Miami's metro is entirely elevated iircpic.twitter.com/eR9h0EOU1U
Miami's water table is at about 4 feet below ground. Any underground construction is very cost-prohibitive.
that is, even when it's not cost-prohibitive. elevated trains have much nicer views!
