Default 2007 Acura TL - Color preference?

I am really having trouble with color preferences... anyone have a suggestion? I am actually leaning towards:1) White Diamond Pearl2) Black 3) Carbon Bronze PearlIn terms of color maintenance, do you guys have any preference. I know black is really difficult to maintain. White looks nice, but it looks ugly when it fades away.If you guys have any links to pictures, please feel free to specify them. I saw the pictures on www.acura.com but I want to see realistic pictures though. Thanks to everyone will answer. Thanks!

White Diamond Pearl. Just wax it once a year and it has a very pearlecent metallic shine to it. Small imperfections and scratches easily blend in and are also easy to buff out. Swirl marks are almost non exisistent. I owned a dark blue maxima and a dark gray one before that and swore off dark cars because they show dirt like crazy and every little scratch stands out. If you email me, I can send you some pics of my car or you can go to http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/ . The message boards there have lots of pictures.

Black is my favorite color even though it's hard to keep clean, But when it's clean it looks the best....

Black always looks best even though you have to maintain it.. which you should do anyways. It's the richest, classiest choice.

My personal preference is black (as my own Acura TL is black) but you do have to wash it on a regular basis.If you like to go a ways between car washes then go w/ the white diamond pearl. It really is a pretty car.

I think that the best color, though not my choice for my car, would be black, it is a color that stands out and gives your car a luxury though sporty feel to it, the negatives for getting black would be that it is hard to keep clean and shiny, the smallest imperfections are highly noticeable, the swirl marks really stand out, and the dirt stands out a lot. My personal choice would be white because it is at least twice as easy to keep clean as black, also because it gives your car a luxury feel, and though the dirt will stand out, it wont stand out as much as it would on a black car.
