I'm only referencing the cars I've seen and/or owned at some time in my life.
White and black are two ends of the "I need to wash my car" syndrome. White cars show every bit of dark colored dirt no matter what it is while black cars show every bit of light colored dirt no matter what that is. If the black car is waxed up and shiny it shows dirt even worse.
My TJR is the fourth silver vehicle my wife and I have bought used. We didn't buy any of them because we're a fan of silver cars, I didn't even want another but they each just happened to be in the best condition at the best price at the time. Anyway I did find out early that silver cars tend to let quite a bit of dirt blend in pretty well.
This picture (of my current avatar in case I change it) shows the dried mud half way up the black grille clearly stands out while even the darker wet mud is obvious on the black bumper.
Obviously the wet darker mud on the door stood out when wet but here's the Jeep when I got home. The mud is blending in much better on the silver than anything black.
Now I'm wondering if anyone has a picture of a TJ with a silver hard top or does that sound more like a Suzuki thing?
