Aargh. Can't decide between blue & midnight silver

[Hugh Mannity]

I thought the blue would show dirt a lot more than it does. I'm impressed how well it still looks when it's dirty.

That is a very useful photo. I tried to take a bunch of side by sides with my iPhone at my local store but the colors just weren't close to representative when I looked at them later.

I think I've decided on the midnight silver. While I like the bolder blue, I think the grey looks a bit more refined. And if it does show dirt a little less, that will suit me .

I got the blue and I would choose it again, but I will say it did really look dirty after a month and a half. I had it cleaned this weekend and it is back to looking amazing . I am not as crazy as some of the folks on the board with car maintenance, but getting the car washed every month or two is a small sacrifice I can make.

The Midnight Silver is mine, picked it up last week... but yes... the struggle is real... Blue was also on my short list.

Get both... eventually. Problem solved. Ha, what a beauty, enjoy the car!

As @Btrflyl8e says these questions are pointless. You will have some tell you to get blue and others tell you midnight silver. I am not sure if you are in a better position to decide after this. Now if most people tell me to get blue I'll get midnight silver and vice versa (IF I really can't decide), just to be different.

Color is a very personal choice. Get what you like.

I completely agree. Just make sure you see both in person first. Pictures don't always do the color justice.

If you want to see some dirty, I recommend visiting a service center.There are usually several over every color in various stages of dirtiness there.

Silver. The current blue color looks very average when it gets a bit dirty. Do you really want your new Tesla looking like a Honda Accord?

I've had many, many compliments on the color of my Model S (vs none for the my first one that was Pearl White).

And I'm fairly certain no one has ever mistaken it for a Honda Accord, even at it's dirtiest.

To keep it clean, I recommend a UNR type rinse-less wash: (https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/posts/1667311/). It takes about 20 minutes, can be done in the cool of the garage, and uses less than 2 gallons of water. I do it about every other week.

picked up my midnight silver s60 last week. it was on order for about 3 months and while on order, i actually forgot what the color looked like. it looks great in person and hard to describe, which I like. and i agree with others... this is really subjective. really, i'm using this post as an opportunity to share a picture of my car!
