Default Silverston or Sebring Silver . . . Which hides dirt better?

I want to get an S2000 in one of these two colors. I currently have a black integra and it is my second black vehicle in a row. I am tired of every little spec of dirt showing up. Which color hides dirt better? I wash my car atleast once a week if not more but still cars get dirty. Just wondering from your personal experience which hides it the best. Thanks guys. Any pics would be greatly appreciated.

Usually silver is the best color on any car to hide dirt.

Out of these two I would imagine Sebring would be better but I can't imagine you could go wrong with either one. Both being a shade of silver, they will hide dirt well.

XViper had a thread in the past with a pick of his Silverstone all dirtied up. It was quite cool...looked like a completely different colored car.

My silverstone is difficult to tell when it's dirty unless you get up close. That being said, it looks so much better clean because it's so shiny.

I'm not too sure about Silverston ... but my Silverston"e" stays pretty clean looking. I would add that it's garaged most of the week, and hopefully will soon be covered as well ... or will be if my bride gets the hint from all the California Car Cover catalogs I keep leaving about. With the appropriate pages dog-eared, marked and highlighted, naturally. I would think that Sebring Silver might even be better in this regard, as it is lighter still.

Here is Silverstone when it is dirty.

http://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=631860

First page has when it's dirty, second page has it when it is clean.

I would post pictures here, but S2ki doesn't allow my host (MSN Groups) to use img tags here for some reason.
