Default What Color?

Howdy folks...

I test drove a Sierra awhile back. Thought it was pretty nice. What I didn't like was all of the darker colors of the GMC's, as I'm getting tired of always washing my vehicles. My 2010 Silverado was "Taupe Grey Metallic" which was similar to Cyber Grey on the Corvettes. It was awesome. The metal flake was big enough to hide water spots, dirt, etc.

These new paint colors are using a much finer flake and just look dirty sitting on the lot (to me, I'm OCD about this).

The local Ford dealership got in a white Raptor with a black graphics package. Black graphics on the rear quarters and the hood, plus optional black wheels. I almost bought the truck, and I never thought I'd like white.

So am I stuck with ordering a white Sierra and trying to find some sort of graphics package to offset all of that white? The white and red are just way to much for me.

Any thoughts?

They don't make a sliver color that you'd like?

I love my silvermist car because it hides the dirt/dust so well.

I do like the fact that silver hides the dirt/dust well, however, silver is the #1 selling color in the world and I want something different.

It is a nice color, I'm just looking to stand out a little bit.

GMC is adding a Carbon package to the truck line up for 2015. It's basically a stripe package and some wheels. Chevrolet is a adding the same thing, just calling it something else. I'm going to buy the stripe package for my white 2014 rcsb, just to off set it a little.

My 14 is Tungsten Metallic and doesn't seem to show a lot of dirt. Plus I love the color. I was going to buy black, but saw this one the day of delivery and changed my mind.

I have the white diamond tricoat, and it hides the dirt very well. I dind't think I would like this color so much. The truck always looks clean.

Tru the Dimond white does hide dirt pretty well. Summit white shows everything. Red is pretty good too

Either pewter or silver birch. Very similar colors. Either way not since early mid 2000s.
