Best color choice to hide dirt?

Hell if most of ya think white is all that easy why not just have primer gray :rolleyes:
:)
 
In 2017 Ram had a Mojave Sand color (actually a "special edition", and it was by far the best color I have owned in almost 40 years of buying vehicles at a rapid pace.
You could be absolutely lazy with it and it still looked great at 10 feet. They should make the Mojave Sand color a standard and permanent truck color option. This should replace white as a base color!

I had a similar color for 2 years on my 2018 jeep and at first I liked it but after a short time I was tired of it. I have yet to get tired of White or silver.

The white and silver options are both decent choices for "looking good" with minimal washing, but I went back to silver this time around. I couldn't take the "fleet vehicle syndrome" again:-)

Here's my old girl. The black touches helped....

I went from black to pearl white. Black looked great clean but cleaning it was a process to avoid swirl marks. Even with ceramic coating and had washing eventually you could see swirls and marks.
Pearl white has been so easy to keep clean. A quick rinse and wipe down it looks great. You just can’t see swirls on it. It was a hard decision going from black to white but every time I wash I’m good with my choice.
 
Can’t hide from your problems forever.
Black.
I think Im agreeing with you...I think?....My first car detailer I had in my thirties use to say " Ya got to get the old dirt off to get the new dirt on " which was his fancy way of saying prevent oxidation.

Resist! You don’t want to find yourself agreeing with me
 
I'd go silver or white. Currently have a white 1500 and love how easy it is to keep clean. That being said, I ordered a granite crystal 2500 and I'm dreading having to keep it clean. I would also avoid the paint matches bumpers if you do a lot of gravel. The chrome will hold up better.

I love the granite crystal on my truck but I keep it spotless and obsessivley compusivley enjoy doing just that BUT you do have a point about the painted bumpers, they are not a friend of stone chips, thats why I had my painted bumpers PPF'ed and I cross my fingers and pray to my god when ever traveling backroads.
 
I went painted bumper and grill as well. I hate the chrome on the new trucks, too much of it for me. If mine gets all chipped up, I'll have my buddy respray it with a proper paint that will hold up better.
