    Funny though, I always owned dark vehicles. My last car was a white VW that I specifically bought because "darks are hard to keep clean". Yeah, lemme tell ya, white was no better. Beige, silver, sure, maybe. But white was a different breed of PITA lol. I couldn't even make it home from the car wash without getting it dirty half the time!

    Yeah, silver is the best option when it comes to a vehicle that stays looking clean the longest. I've had a white, silver, and now a pyrite mica vehicle. The white eventually gets real grimy and in my case the badges drip black residue and dirt down so you get streaks of grime. Silver stays very clean, even in pollen season it only shows up tinges of yellow, mostly seen on the windows, and then there is my pyrite Tacoma. Surprisingly pyrite stays very clean too. When I let it go a couple months without a good wash it only appears dusty. It hides pollen fairly well too.

    Then again majority of the time I could give a crap how dirty my truck gets :D What I do mind is bird shit and tree sap.

    I've seen fewer Spruce Mica on the road, so I voted for that... but as everyone else has stated ITT: Both are great... no gripes either way.

    Big Ups to MGM, though... because I'm biased.

    Both awesome colours. I'm a sucker for the blue.
    And I'm impartial, because mine's barcelona red.

    To me the difference in those two colors are that spruce seems a conservative color whereas the blue seems a little more flashy.
    imho...:thumbsup:

    I can't vote... Lol. Both of those colors are sick. Probably my two favorite colors for new ones, until they off that speedway blue or Daytona blue... Whatever it was called.

    I would go Blue, mainly because I've owned a green car and didn't care for it (was a hunter green). I went with black, because I love black on any vehicle, although after 5 days I can already tell it's gonna be a bitch to keep clean. Blue would have been my second choice, followed by silver. I really like the gray also, but a friend of mine already has a gray Taco, so I couldn't go with gray haha.
