I have white so of course I am going to say go that route...but my decision was between white, gun metallic, and black. I chose white cuz I like the pearl in the paint and never had a white vehicle before...I have had black and know what goes into keeping one looking good. With that said even with white you really have to wash it just as much as the road grime after a rainstorm makes it look just as bad. Invest in a califorina duster for the pollen as white will turn yellow just the same.....so what I am saying is I don't think the upkeep is that much more extensive on what color the car is...if you want it clean you are going to have to take the time to wash it. Only thing is a lighter color car is more forgiving on swirl marks being visible unless you get at the right angle in the sun. Hope that helps. Good luck in your decsion if you were like me you stood there looking at each color for over an hour trying to decide which you wanted to live with for the day to day

Black is beautiful...but white is right!

Well I have a black Murano and a Gun Metallic 370 and obviously the black is more work to take care of. A bird crapped on the hood yesterday and it's a half hour ordeal to clean it up and no matter how careful I ended up with a few more fine scratches.
I like the black but it needs constant attention to look it's best, with paint correction at least once a year.
I chose the gun metallic as it hides dirt and scratches better, looks great in the sun and is easier to maintain.
My second choice would definitely be the white.
