Dirt shows up least on which color?

I just realized that I haven't washed my TiAg e90 from early March. It's been 3 months, i drove 4k km since, highway and city, we had snow in March, some rain, drove in gravel roads... And today I snapped a quick shot of the car while out with family in nature. Amazing how clean it still looks!

Well, for me it's first silver car so im very pleased. I had dark green metallic passat B5 (can it be any boring!) and after that an avus blue E36 and that thing unless freshly washed and waxed looked much different after few drives (gorgeous color though). But i'm loving the versatility of TiAg, compared to how crappy my friend's black merc looks after a dusty day in town!

Haha, all I know is that it's not Jet Black. I picked it up Tuesday and it was disgusting by Wednesday.

That means I get to wash it for the first time tomorrow.

I have sparkling graphite and from far away it looks clean! It's very good at hiding dirt IMHO.

But the best has got to be Silver or Space Grey.

AW...then Tiag...and then Space Grey

I have a Space Grey, car still looks good without washing for 2 weeks, but the rims transform to hyperblack due to brake dust

Had a black car once, but will never have one again unless I win the lottery and hire my own private detailer

Grayish colored cars hide it the best (TiAg, Space Gray, Sparkling G.) because dust is gray, duh.
