WTS is the way to go if you don't like the color.

white shots dirt the least, it’s easiest to keep looking clean. It also absorbs less heat, paint lasts longer cabins stays cooler. There are many reasons why many fleet trucks are white….

all my work trucks are white. They look clean until someone rubs against it and “wipes the dirt off” then we have to finally wash it.

I can settle this debate. Color preference is purely subjective but it is obvious Aventurine Green Metallic is in fact the best color. jk

The combo of white paint with the grey wheels sold me on my Carrera.

Excellent!!!

I like white because it’s a clean, classic choice. Also gives you plenty of customization options. For instance, various wheel colors work, interior accents, etc.

Main reason I went with white is because I buy my cars used and based on condition. When my GT3 came up and it was in the condition I wanted, I jumped on it.

White is good if you add some color!
