Red does this as well. It never looks dirty, just sort of "not as bright" as when it's clean.

Ask any detailer and they would say that silver is the easiest to keep clean,contrary to popular belief that white is.I feel like it depends on where you live though.

If you are in Tucson,AZ,where it's always dusty and dirty out,almost any color will look like shit.Go down to Florida,where it's always sunny and short bursts of rain,after a good wax,all of the more vibrant and darker toned colors will pop right off of the street. Up here where I live,in the winter,white won't look nearly as dirty as other colors,because we put a lot of salt down on the roads. My hot lava looks like ass in the winter.

Both my subies are silver and look clean. My wife’s Lexus is dark blue. Best looking color we have but man you see all the dirt. I have a black 2005 MDX for my daughter, it only looks great the day I wax it. A few days letter it’s dull or just plain dirty. So I will stick with my silver cars.

Black isn't a color, its a part time job.

The biggest problem with a black car is if the clear coat starts pealing. Looks like total ass after that.

Black is still my favorite car color though. That being said,I think the twins don't look very good in black and I can't really explain why.

pewter is even easier than silver. as long as the panel isn't dented, that color can hide scrapes better than Houdini!

I’ve only ever owned black cars and I agree, the heat that the black generates kills the clear faster than other colors and then it looks really bad. I also agree the twins don’t look as good in black as other cars. I think it’s because of all the black accent pieces that don’t contrast on the paint. I sort of regret getting black for the first time ever.

What I like about black is when you spend two hours cleaning the car you actually see the results. Wash a white car for two hours and it just looks a little better than when dirty.

I can't remember the last time I spent two hours washing a car, or even paid someone to do that.

I'm envious of those willing to put this much effort into it, but I just can't do it.

That's why I don't sweat it. My take is that it doesn't functionally affect the machine until there's damage to the panels. I can try to keep it clean and shiny all the time, or I can spend a fraction of that time doing paint correction a couple times over the vehicle's life.

mythbusters proved that dimpled panels like a golf ball improves fuel efficiencey.

just sayin'

I like my boundary layers nice & fluffy, thank you very much.

All the colors are good, but everyone knows the best color is red. :thumbup:

It takes me forever to wash my car, but I don't do it often. Hahaha. I washed it over the weekend for the first time since October.

Dark grey is probably the best colour on this car. Looks great, is subtle, and hides dirt and defects.

That being said, Hakone IS the best colour. it's just probably as terrible as black and dark blue when it comes to keeping clean.

dark colours always show dirt and stuff easily.
Black the most since...well black.

White shows dirt easily too, but white hides the most imperfections (like scratches and swirls)

I dont think theres any real "controversial" colour as they are usually just personal preference.

Silver is my most hated, since its the most boring colour imo. The 86 silver looks great in light but super dull without the light.
Black and White look good on almost everything because of their neutrality.
I liked the orange
I like the dark blue but i like/hate the light blue.
I dont like red, I dont like green (Green makes me think rental car)
Grey is OK. I actually like the 2020 Pavement grey (lighter grey) more than the darker asphalt grey. I feel like it gives off a more "mature" look to the car, kind of like how an aston martin in grey gives off that suave look.
