White & black are the worst for keeping clean (I have a dirty black one). Silver is the easiest to keep clean (ie disguises the dirt the best).

My black Sti gets dirty very quickly, but covers up the little dents nicely.
The minute I get it all shiny, the bumps appear

My last car was white and it was a b1tch to keep clean. Never again. Got a DBM now and that seems pretty easy to keep clean.

Greens a good colour actually - you seem to get less attention from other drivers. Oh, and my "slow" home-market green has no problems giving P1's a lot of work to do to keep up so As well as another greeny I know of that would shame a lot of STi's

silver is really good for hiding the dusty kinda dirt but not so good for hiding the muck off country roads as I discovered after washing mine for the MOT then driving home down a country road.

My 98MY in Reddish Blue (blue) always looked clean, but RB5 in Blue Steel (dark grey) was a real 'mare!

Blue/Black kicks butt with a set of antracite alloys - absolute nightmare in this weather though, looks spot on at the weekend when its been washed, 10 minutes on the road and you can' tell its just been done.

Looks tops as changes from black to a navy blue in the sun as well.

well i thought the royal silver would be best cos of the hint of gold kinda made it look slightly dirty already.........but when i washed it after 2 month.....or rather when someone else did....i got such a shock cos if i didnt know it had been washed i'd have walked clean past it (pardon the unintentional pun).......but it deffo hides all the little imperfections, like where a door had been opened into it.

Sunday Driver....not so slow with an ecutek, panel filter and decat....

DGM is my favourite cos it is stealth from a distance, but when people get up close and personal they always say what a beautiful colour it is.

Stealth rules...you won't ever see Sti stickers on my motor. (hmm...will i ever have to eat those words?)

MATTEL where were you sunday m8 letting the DGM side down! Was looking forward to seeing the car!

I've got Blue Black Mica, took a risk by choosing the colour from the brochure. I will never again buy a car without seeing the colour in the flesh. It looks dirty within 5 minutes of washing I unless it is spotless and is in very bright sunlight you would not know it had a trace of blue nor see the Mica - it just looks black.

On the upside, it does not attract any unwanted attention.
