Best color choice to hide dirt?

Yeah, why hide it when you can just remove it.

It’s the px8 black that hides the dirt (;

seriously the last time I washed it was before I picked up my topper

I sold my 19 black night edition specifically because the paint was garbage showed everything, if you looked at it wrong it got scratched. 22 mega silver limited on order

Yep. From my experience Pearl White is also a good option. Granite Crystal isn’t going to be nearly as bad as Black but it’s still gonna show pretty quick. Ive had 8 dark metallic grey vehicles in the past and while I love the color, I decided to go Billet Silver this time.

I have granite crystal and it does handle dirt well.
 
The Ignition Orange 1500 that I had a few years back was the absolute best I've ever owned at hiding dirt. I would bet I only washed that thing 2 or 3 times per year and it always looked clean.

I went from that to PX8 Black and it was the complete opposite. I could barely get the buckets put away before it looked dirty.

My current Billet isn't quite as low maintenance as the orange was, but definitely hides the dirt better than most everything else I see cruise through the neighborhood.
 
Granite is the dirt hiding king of RAM paints.
 
What ever color you choose wash it every week or 2 at a toucchless car wash or if you have the time to hand wash it regardless of weather....you know what they say.... " you got to get the old diry off before you get the new dirt on "

Unfortunately, that only works if you can find a car wash that can accommodate the size. Nothing around here is even close.
 
Flame red hides the SoCal dirt pretty well. It just loses some of its pop and starts looking more Rorange. My truck gets dirty pretty fast but I always try to avoid mud if I can.
 
While I haven't had the Ram silver, but I've had other silver cars as well as white and live on a long dirt road. The white has always worked out best for me, takes less care, doesn't show dings as much and holds up best in the looong haul. I just ordered my new truck in the Pearl White.
 
White is by far the most popular color I see out here. But it is also the color of most of the fleet trucks so that must add a lot of white trucks on the road. White is used on fleet trucks for a good reason. They hide a lot of dirt and dings. I had a white car once but I don't want another one.

White is also used on fleet vehicles because it’s a cheap color to make and easy for companies to slap their logos on the side.

The place where I work has a fleet of over 100 Dodge/Ram trucks and every single one is bright white. It’s definitely a simple and clean color but since I look at them daily, I couldn’t bring myself to buy the same color for my personal vehicle.
 
I love my white 4Runner. Still looks new to this day. Can't see any light or swirly scratches on it. I was planning on getting the Power Wagon in white as well, till the wife said something along the lines of "You can't get white, it'll look like a city-utilities truck."

Ended up with Olive Green, and I will say, it does hide dirt pretty well. We'll see how it ages, but I'm rather happy with it so far.
