PEWTER!!! it is already the color of dirt/dust. I could go weeks without washing my Z28 and it still looked clean. Also silver is great for hiding blemishes.

Worst colors are black, or navy blue metallic.

CAMOFLAGE nobody would see the dirt.
On a serious note, silver. I had 2 transam's that were silver and 1 daily driver silver.

Down here in West Tx., its really dusty, but the dust is kind of light redish tan, so im thinking SOM might hide the dirt pretty dang well

I'd have to go with pewter too.
But I use my TA as a DD and my color stays pretty clean, the pollen in summer is a bit rough though. And it stays outside 24/7 which I'm sure doesn't help...

The only problem with Pewter and Silver if you area lazy dirty car driver kinda guy is that they never really look dirty. It is both a blessing and a curse. You really can't touch it for hiding dirt though.

I've known quite a few people over the years with this dirty car syndrome and thier cars always end up with flaking clearcoat and peely paint.

So, if you go dirty camo color just remember you still have to show the paint some lovin from time to time.
