^Definite +1. I'd even go as far as to say I hate white cars, didn't even consider it initially. However Pepper White (which is honestly more of an off-white or even cream), in combination with black and on the MINI in particular is quite sharp.

Who would have thought Lightning Blue would be such a dirt magnet, but now I wash Little Spark almost every weekend. With the dirt I'm getting, I would think white is the better color.

I kept my truck away from mulched areas and it stopped.
