What is the best color car to not show dirt?

I am moving to Minnesota for grad school and I will need a car to get around. I want something reliable but also attractive. I know the winter and spring in MN will get muddy and sludgy. What is the best color car to not show dirt?

Congrats on your upcoming move! The best color car to not show dirt is lighter-colored, like silver, light gray, light blue, or beige.
As a grad student, you probably won’t have a ton of time to clean your car. So if you are buying a new or used vehicle, silver or beige are the two best colors to help hide dust and grime until you can visit a car wash.
Avoid black, blue, and red cars, which reveal dirt more than lighter-colored vehicles.
