My previous Toyota was black, too - I had it for 17 years.

Any car looks dirty when it's dirty. I've had grays and whites, and light and dark blues, and one red. I don't think anyone's fooled into thinking a light colored car looks clean when it's not. But when a dark paint job is gleaming, it's special.

There's nothing wrong with any TCH color. I like all of the TCH's colors. But mag gray is gorgeous, shows the car's lines well, has those sparkly chips floating in the paint, and just looks serious.

But that's just me!
I agree 100%. On top of that, light colours do nothing for me. White, silver, or beige are permanently off my list, never owned, never will. In Canada seemlingly there's a law that 80% of Hondas have to be silver or beige, so I've been brainwashed over the years to dislike Honda for no good reason.
