To hide dirt really well, you'd have to go with silver or graphite or such color.Patriot is a nice color too, but I wanted something brighter. I actually test drove a patriot blue one and had thoughts about buying it when I was 4-6 months out from seeing my truck arrive. However, after 4 different GM trucks in black, I wanted something bright that hid being dirty much better. Especially this time of year when the salt and crud is everywhere on Ohio roads.
But even then, my truck currently is yellow due to pine pollen. There it won't matter if it's Patriot or Hydro blue...
