Chili Red looks clean even if it is covered on a thick layer of dust.

Pepper white is also a very forgiving color and hides imperfections extremely well. Also is one of the easiest colors if you need to do a paint touch up.

 

CR/B looks wonderful dirty, very menacing, one reason I chose this combo Jimbo

 

The black roof looks too dirty for my taste. It looks gorgeous when washed in my PW/B Cooper, but I much prefer the white top for ease of cleaning.

 

Royal Grey stays clean looking for a while. I didn't wash it for a couple months once and you really couldn't tell.. the only part that gets real dirty are the wheels and boot.

 

But white tops are great with pollen. If you get a lot of tree pollen or otherwise, after a great pollen day your white roof becomes a nice shade of yellow

Now that nice shade of yellow looks a bit weird with black checks!

Fortunately, most of it just blows away with a good wind

 

Just was watching a American Auto car show on ESPN and they listed the most popular colors this year.

1. Silver (guess we know why now)
2. White
3. Gray
4. Blue
5. Black
6. Red
7. Light Brown
8. Green
9. Yellow
10. Golde/Pewter

Yellow is new to the list this year and light blue is gaining popularity they said.

My favorites are Midnight Blue and Red (Candy Apple). Are car colors are Red Mustang, White Jeep Cherokee, Green Pickup f150 and we are awaiting a Yellow Mini. <grin>

 

I think the issue is that there are two kinds of dirt... dark dirt and light dirt. PS is probably the best bet, but the boot gets really messy no matter what.

 

My pink hides the dirt pretty well.... but the black trim shows EVERY speck!!!

(but I dont recommend a pink car )
