Personally I think this question is pointless - go with what you like. Aside from the obvious "black scratches easily and white is cooler" there's no feedback any of us can give you that helps. Mine are both midnight silver. So what - you like it or you don't.I'm agonizing over what color to get for my Model 3 so I want to get current owners experiences LIVING with their colors over the years.
I do not want votes from NON-OWNERS based on "Man that car looks sick!"... I want votes from OWNERS based on "I have owned this car with this color for # amount of years and I like it because X" or "I have owned this color but wish I got this other color because of X"
So... without further ado (and I'm only including currently available model 3 colors)...
Please include why in the responses! Thanks in advance all!
I agree that the X looks great in white/white.I've always been partial to white. Easy to clean, looks sharp even with a light coat of dirt.

Silver Metallic S85D, had it for two years. Not the most popular color (at least in the SF Bay Area), but it looks good IMHO and it's fairly low-maintenance (== hides the dust well).
IMHO it basically comes down your personal preference. Once you decide you like a color you can find all sorts of ways to rationalize that choice.

Interesting answer - you didn't like plain white even when you waxed up the car and it was super shiny clean? The trouble with pearl colors like pearl white is that they are difficult for body shops to get a perfect, invisible match when/if they have to be replaced.I always wanted the Blue. I got Plain White for my Model S because cost and thought I would wrap it later. I ended up selling my Model S after half a year because cost. I've seen some beautifully wrapped Model S's with colors that I'd love to have (mostly blue), so the wrapping idea I had was not wrong in any way that I can tell. I wish I waited two months and just bought the blue X that I always wanted to begin with. I missed not having blue every time I saw a blue S or X. I knew my decision when I made it. Plain White is no longer available as a color. That's because it's boring.
I originally liked the idea of Plain White to have my car fit in and not be noticed. That didn't work. The Model S doesn't fit in. It is a statement. A statement I didn't want to make, but one that gets made no matter what. People look at you as someone who is out of their mind for wasting money. So, if you're going to "waste money", you should get a nice color that you like. I should have gotten Blue, and it would have been a stunning statement, and fit in as a statement of beauty and charm of clean air that I cherish so much. Instead of people looking at me as a money waster, they would shower me with jealous remarks about how beautiful my car is, and I wouldn't have gotten so much negative attention, and much more positive attention. I went the wrong path on color.
I also love the unique colors that are not available: Green, Brown, and Signature Red, in that order. But, their exclusivity is part of their charm. I wouldn't feel that way about them if they were available.
I've considered most of the various grays to be drab; I've been pleasantly surprised when someone could pull off a beautiful Silver or Bronze that made me like it when I just thought it was a boring gray during ordering.
Technically, I am presently a non-owner, and you can discount my vote due to non-compliance.
It was uninspiring, and because of the negative reaction I got from people who saw me in a Tesla, I should have gone all the way rich color for a rich car.Interesting answer - you didn't like plain white even when you waxed up the car and it was super shiny clean?

So, if I could have voted twice I would have and I have two different choices.
First, as an owner, I chose the Pearl because white is simply my favourite colour for the cars that I own. My reasons have been echoed here already but it looks crisp and clean (even when a little dirty) and it is easy to hide little imperfections (like swirl marks or even some other bumps and bruises).
However, I am a detailing enthusiast (pure weekend warrior)... and that part of me wanted the Metallic Blue. Why? I love the deep and rich colour of the blue. Properly polished, it looks wet and dazzling. Nothing looks better than a properly polished dark car.. but here is the problem... you rarely see them properly polished. So, when I'm driving by any nice dark coloured car (that is clean) and it hits the sun in a certain way and I see swirl marks or paint marring it drives me nuts. Some people think they are driving around in a super clean, hot Tesla and all I see is a swirly mess!!! I think many people aren't equipped to use proper washing and polishing techniques to keep their cars paint looking the way it should. Even me, as an detailing enthusiast, I find it hard to keep my car 100% swirl free.
So..white if you want lower maintenance...blue if you want to work for it!
