Clean ,very clean only happen the second after you finish cleaning , the all thing is a utopia , nothing stays the same for more than a few moments ,it will start all over again the very moment one thinks I AM done !!!

I would think it would be... in order...

Black
Imperial Blue Metallic
Cyber Grey Metallic

I really feel like my CGM is only a little better than Black. It's a pain too!

Every black car I've owned (which has been every car I've owned ) has been ungaraged. Proper wash techniques when you do wash it, and using quality products (I use adams), keeps it looking fine. Most people just become lazy and give up.

All my vehicles still look new years later. But it's a second job keeping them that way.

My vote would go to 2 colors:

BLACK of course is impossible to keep clean. Seems like it's drity again before you finish cleaning the car.

IBM is virtually as bad as black. It shows everything. Water spots, dust, anything that the tires kick up. It's also impossible to keep clean. Unfortunately it's the color my wife wanted on our Camaro so that's what we have. Now I'm told it's my job to wash it like every other day.

As for wheels, my midnight silver wheels show the brake dust terribly.

Correct- GM saved the best for last- I waited to order summit white and took delivery on 8/21/09. The lighter the color, the more it pops and it's so easy to keep clean IMO. ""

RJT and Black (no comparison). Black shows every spec of dirt/dust.

I had a Black and Spice Red (similar to RJT) GTO. My Black GTO needed to be cleaned daily to keep looking good. I'm serious. I would clean my black GTO every day. If I didn't it would quickly start looking bad. But off course, it looked great when it was nice a clean. Unfortunately, that didn't last very long.

If someone could invent a dust repellent wax, that would be sweet. My car just sucks all the fine dust right onto the paint.

Black is the hardest to keep clean by far. I have a CGM car and it isn't too bad.

I think silver and white are the best for not showing dirt.

It's Black by a long shot. That's one of the main reasons I went CGM.

For dust, definitely the black one.
But the white (which I own) can get messy pretty soon after rain (of dusty water or bird crap ).

Black by far! As soon as I wash it and drive it, its dirty all over again. Makes me think twice about the Z-28, I'll most likely just get white. Oddly enough that color doesn't get dirty as quick, at least in my eyes.

I'm guessing black. You'd never know it by looking at SScattergunSS's car though!
