Default I love a clean black car....

Too bad it never stays clean long. I will never own another black car after owning 3.

clean and simple.

I tell myself that too that I'll get a different color, but If I can't make up my mind Black is my default

A black car will stay clean 'looking' longer than a white car but its easier to wipe the white car than the black car when it does get dirty

For getting the perfect paint match
black

I have not had any issues with paint matching when adding a spoiler here and there.
I also had front spoiled damage, then the bumber, then the hood and a fender. All parts were painted at different times and paint matched with no sings of color difference. I see lighter colors with significant color difference.Specially the bumbers.
