White or silver.

My DD is silver for this reason.

My Camaro is CGM and it actually does NOT hide dirt well, but it's not as bad as black.

My last car was a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix. It was Fusion Orange Metallic. It was the best color I have ever had for looking good even when it was not perfectly clean. I am thinking the similar orange color the Camaro has would be just as good for not showing the dust and dirt so bad. My current RJT red, is pretty but does show the dust more than the orange.

As has already been pointed out numerous times above, Silver and White are the two easiest Camaro colors to keep "looking clean" regardless of whether they are in fact clean.

The silver will show water spots and swirls/scratches more so than the white, making it slightly more difficult keeping it looking super sharp (but is worth it, and tbh if ya don't towel dry it ... oh well! no biggie). The white will tend to show tar spots and bugs a bit more than the silver, so it really comes down to preferences.

Probably the easiest car colors to keep looking clean (not jsut Camaro colors), would be:

- Biege/tan
- Gold
- White
- Silver

But who would want a biege/tan/gold Camaro?

After typing that, I just pictured gold with tan rally stripes and threw up a little in my mouth... but it would be easy to keep looking clean!

Get the color you like and wash your damn car!

I chose the WORST color when it comes to hiding scratches, dirt, etc.
But black looks so amazing. I'll take a dirty looking black car over a clean looking silver car any day. But that's just me.

I LOOOOOOVE black cars.
