    I got the 2017 Baja Special Azul. I like it, what was the question? Yeah I always liked blue so I am probably not the guy to answer this particular question.

    I'll always vote for my color. I honestly do think it hides the dirt very well

    You're 100% good. Only the Mexico born (Blue pearl) tacos affected.

    One more for quicksand. I had a black 2006 before and never want a dark colored car again. I ordered my 2016 in QS having never seen the color in person. It has hidden tree branch pinstriping very well and even a small dent behind the LR tire is unnoticeable unless you have your head right next to it and the light hits it just right.

    Cirrusblau was the color but 342 whp was the reason. Fun little go-cart . But I do like golf r’s better due to the traction and easy/ cheap (more)tuneable power . But a bmw is very fun sideways. The seats were leather or pleather in mine.

    Silver shades hide more than anything when it comes to scratches etc etc. Safest bet is white though. White is much cooler in the summer heat, it hides dirt extremely well and if you ever sell your truck ............ White is a color everyone can live with. I test drove a black Taco and they’re beautiful trucks besides the damn blue flake. Then I thought about the black car in my garage............WHITE IT IS ! Lol Just get what color you fall in love with bro.

    Cement does seem to hide dirt and dust build up the best

    Only the mature and secured owners pick silver sky. You have good taste.

    I had a 2012 in Spruce Green and loved it, but it got hot in the Summer months. After seeing all of the colors except red in person, I'm leaning toward silver or white.

    White does an awesome job of hiding that Northern Colorado winter road grime.

    LOL I know what you mean - that damn blue flake was the reason my wife picked the "midnight black" 4Runner. She saw it when the sun was on it and that was the end of deciding which color, just glad it turned out to be on an OR Premium model

    I’ve had my Silver Sky a few years now. Put it through lots of paint abuse. Always looks good from a distance even when scratched to shit. The metallic paint, and lighter colour, helps hide scratches.

    Only negative is it’s a tiny bit of an “old man colour”. Has slightly more mojo with the black accents.
