If you had your choice what color would you pick? Dark Blue, Silver, or Charcoal? Why?

Silver is very easy to maintain and generally always looks clean. I owned one black car and will NEVER own another one.

My personal experience... I had:
Burgundy, Dark Green, Navy Blue, Black = (I will never again buy this colors) you can see swirl marks, water marks, and dirt...
These colors are only good when its new and you have it detailed every 2 weeks... If you have the money, go for it... And of course, this car has to be your favorite...
Charcoal is OK, the dirt doesn't show as much, but swirl marks are still visible...
Silver is not bad hides dirt nicely and swirl marks are not noticeable...
I now have a boring white truck... But where I live, this is the best because its very dusty here and we have hard water... I am eliminating the water stains and the swirl marks are not noticeable at all...
You might think a white car is for old people... Not really, I just hooked my truck up with chrome rims and 30% charcoal tints all around... My truck looks nice and exterior maintenance friendly...

It depends??? All those colors are great, dark blue is a great color but gets dirty easy and can see scratches easy. Silver is a great color cuz can't see the dirt as easy and it is easy to buff if you need to, also doesn't show scratches much. Charcoal is in the middle of the other two colors... hope that helped you out some...

Depends on where I live - hot climate (dark blue attracts and retains heat - not good).
Silver - lovely but shows dirt quickly and rust too.
Charcoal is nice - not as bad as dark blue (heat) and stays "cleaner" than silver.
How about a colour you can spot easily in a parking lot?? Just stay away from RED and YELLOW - first speeding car the cops will catch.

It so depends on the car. Keep in mind that darker colors are hotter in the summer sun and fade more rapidly. Lighter colors do not show dirt as much as darker colors. Reds, greens and browns are more expensive colors. If it's a corvette, it MUST be red. If it's a Cadillac, it should be black. Close your eyes and imagine your car in the various colors. Consider a metallic.....they're pretty.

I like charcoal, my truck is that color. It makes the statement that you don't have to be in-your-face, but still cool. Sometimes I think I would like a bright yellow, or maybe Bengal orange. But that is the younger side of me. Nice to know I still have a younger side.

Charcoal because since black looks good with almost all colors, you will have more variety of colors to choose for your interior. Besides, a black car always looks sexy.

Charcoal. A cool, sleek colour.
Silver is too common. Dark Blue can be nice, but if it's too dark, might be drab.
