Rainy Seattle weather can leave your car's paint job looking less than fresh. But did you know that certain colors are better at obscuring dirt? The answers may surprise you. Read our guide below to learn which colors are the best and worst for hiding dirt. When you need professional cleaning and detailing to wash away the November rain, make sure to bring your car to Kenny's Auto Detail in Seattle.

Dark or Light Debate

It may seem obvious that black cars are the best at concealing dirt, but they are actually the most difficult color to keep clean. Rain spatters show prominently on black and dark paint, especially in Western Washington's drizzly climate. Black paint also tends to attract bird droppings, dust, and pollen in the spring. White cars do a better job at hiding dirt, although they are not the ideal color. If you live in a rural area, dust clings to white paint more prominently. Driving on wet roads will also cause dirt and bits of asphalt to splatter the bottom part of your vehicle.

Winning Colors

The best color choices for keeping your car looking cleaner for longer fall somewhere in the middle of the color spectrum. Opt for neutral shades, such as champagne, tan, and taupe. These hues tend to mask the different shades of dirt and debris that cover your car. If you prefer darker colors, grey and silver also do a decent job of camouflaging dirt.
