Car Forum / Honda Cars / June 2005Color Opinions
Looking for opinions as to what is the easiest color to keep clean. IE,..black in my opinion dirties quickly and also seems to spider web and its hard to keep a glossy finish. I'm picking up a new Civic shortly and what to go with the most trouble free finish. >Looking for opinions as to what is the easiest color to keep clean. >IE,..black in my opinion dirties quickly and also seems to spider web >and its hard to keep a glossy finish.

IMO, a silver/champaign color hides dust best > IMO, a silver/champaign color hides dust best Champagne... it's called Desert Mist Metallic (on Accords, anyway), and it can look nice in a non-desert environment where everything already looks like the desert. Mine's white, doesn't show swirls, reflects the heat, looks sharp when clean. :) Also, it has a light tone interior, whereas the silver (Accords) have a black interior. No thanks on black. I just wish the white had that metallic luster I see on some other cars. > > IMO, a silver/champaign color hides dust best > [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > silver (Accords) have a black interior.

Honda calls their colors a "pearl" finish, but it is really just metallic flakes, unlike mica used in upscale cars. Desert Mist hides dirt like your mother-in-law is coming over. When I think of a rental car, I think of red, by the way. > Desert Mist is really beige.

When I think of a rental car, I think of red, by the way. Toyota also calls some of their colors "pearl". My brother has a 2005 Corolla whose color is, as Toyota calls it, "phantom grey pearl". > Desert Mist is really beige.

Really hard to keep clean? Looks black under the right street lights? 'Curly' >>> Desert Mist is really beige.
