Color Opinions

Looking for opinions as to what is the easiest color to keep clean.
IE,..black in my opinion dirties quickly and also seems to spider web
and its hard to keep a glossy finish. I'm picking up a new Civic shortly
and what to go with the most trouble free finish.

 

silver seems to be easy

White and silver are best . . .Take a look at this on-going discussion:

IMO, a silver/champaign color hides dust best

 

when i see a white car, i think "rental". JMO, of course.

Champagne... it's called Desert Mist Metallic (on Accords, anyway), and it
can look nice in a non-desert environment where everything already looks
like the desert. Mine's white, doesn't show swirls, reflects the heat,
looks sharp when clean. Also, it has a light tone interior, whereas the
silver (Accords) have a black interior. No thanks on black. I just wish the
white had that metallic luster I see on some other cars.

 

Desert Mist is really beige. Honda calls their colors a "pearl"
finish, but it is really just metallic flakes, unlike mica used in
upscale cars. Desert Mist hides dirt like your mother-in-law is
coming over. When I think of a rental car, I think of red, by the way.

 

Toyota also calls some of their colors "pearl". My brother has a 2005
Corolla whose color is, as Toyota calls it, "phantom grey pearl".

 

yup. proud owner of a 98 civic cx, in "dark pearl amethyst". g/f calls
it "the purple egg"

Is that the one that's the color of eggplant? Really hard to keep clean?
Looks black under the right street lights?

i guess it does kinda look like eggplant. more in the bluish spectrum
than the maroonish purple of some civics. pretty hard to keep clean,
too. but at least the black mirrors/handles/trim kinda go with it.
