Default what paint job...makes dirt least visible??

i'm still trying to decide on what color to paint my ef sedan, i don't want any extreme colors, just somehting simple and stock like....my car is currently white and dirt is always visible (maybe it would help if cleaned it) but i want to get a paint job where dirt is the least apparent??

any suggestions, example pics..paint codes, anything would help.thanks.

White is the best color to hide dirt, unless you want your car dirt color.

yeah see thats what i was wondering about...cause i see a lot stockpaint jobs these days a sort of tanish grey color/gunmetal/goldish...but i've never seen a honda that that paint job...its mostly minivans and large sedans.

and yeah i guess i could just go brown huh? well it want it to look nice.

anyone have a good example of a nice goldish grey paint job?? i've seen a few nicely colored DA's with this sort of paint and it appeared pretty stock, looks killer with black/gunmetal rims..

a gunmetal color, such as the one on the new chevrolet tahoe will hide dirt even better than silver. We have a tahoe this color in colorado and after driving through the snow and dirst and salt for 2 weeks the only really visible dirt was on the tires and windshield!
