Default Easiest colors to keep clean

So yeah it's widely known that black and any real dark shade is a PITA to keep clean on a car. Scratches and all that stick out.

What are the easiest colors to keep clean that won't show scratches as bad as black? White? Silver?

Silver is easy to keep clean.

Personally, I wish every vehicle I owned was white. Can't see dust on them, takes MUD to see anything on them. Scratches and swirls are almost impossible to see.

Dammit, I hate black.[&:]

As much as I hate to admit it I had to learn the hard way. Black looks great when it's clean but I wish I had chosen a different color now despite all the looks and comments my car seems to get. Black looks badass but damnit I'm kinda getting tired of the upkeep and seeing every little scratch and scuff in the sunshine.

I doubt I'll be able to get what I'm asking but I want to sell my car and get a different color. Vapor silver metallic or mineral gray would be my first choices. White as my second.

Silver - I traded my black for it.
