TL;DR

Blue is worst, black is next worst.

So they claim...

I kinda like silvers and greys. Easiest to keep clean. For me, anyway...

Silver yes, Grey NO. I like White the best....it takes a while to actually look dirty!

I've liked grey ever since the Regal T-Type of the 80s... Man, did I love those cars... Never did get to own one.

The Grey that I'm referring to is a non-metallic. Chrysler calls it Destroyer Grey on their Chargers and Challengers. I call it Battleship Grey and in my opinion it looks like grey primer with some clear coat on top of it.......YUCK!!!!!

I'm not a fan of that color either. So not all greys. For grey, I generally like it darker. For silver, lighter...

Either metallic Silver or metallic Charcoal. The key is METALLIC!!!!!!

Yes, I'm definitely a fan of metallic grey... I probably should have mentioned that earlier.

Agree with that! I had a white Accord, and it always looked good even though it was dirty... Now white is my prefered color or even a pearl white. Next is a metallic silver to charcoal....
But I really love black! But its a PIA to keep clean... the last black car I had, I would give it the all on a detailing and then come back to look 3 hours later and it looks all dusty again...grrr...Ok, avoid frickn black cars...
That new color on new cars you are seeing - called Cement....kinda gloss primer grey... Yeah wet cement color looks like shit...

Oh - and absolutely no black interiors... prefer light tan or grey for me...

I'm assuming you mean EGR Valve?

No the EGR adapter. The EGR is easy to find. The EGR adapter is what the EGR mounts to. It has a flex tube that goes to the backside exhaust, and is not removable.

I had a 1975 Nova 4-door in beige. That is the color dirt when it has dried! It was easy to keep "clean".

It was a sleeper: 350 cid, 4V toilet (ok, so most call it a carburetor...), and it was quick!

Years later I had a 2009 Malibu in Black Granite Metallic. Just about everyone said that it must be hard to keep clean. For me, it was a trip through the car wash about once a week and it looked good. It was as easy as it gets. And the metallic inclusions in the paint made it pop!

Black is a no go for me. Pain in the ass to maintain.
