In my opinion, pearl is about the only color to get. Except
maybe for that Autumn Red.

Angela's 90Q20V is Pearl, and the paint is wonderful. It
hides almost everything until it is so dirty it can stand
up on its own. Salt, road grime, even small scratches/dings
pretty much disappear.

Of course, the drawback is that it is more $$$ to fix if needed.
