Baltic Blue or Sartorini Black
I'm changing my Orkney Grey car and have on order a Sartorini Black one. I want the light interior, and think it looks good with that combination. However. I've had 3 black cars before, and have a feeling that I may have said, "never again" as they show up so much dirt.
I then saw a Baltic Blue car today and it looked good with the light interior.
And now I'm stuck.
The car will be delivered in the first week of July, so I need to make my mind up soon.
Grateful for any thoughts, esp from those with either of these colours.

I like how light and how dark the Baltic Blue can look, depending on the conditions.

Baltic Blue looks fantastic in the Sun....
ps.....I phoned the dealer to cheekily ask what colour the guy had originally ordered (he changed it when he saw my Firenze)....it was Santorini.... "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Soooo, basically, those with blue cars think - surprisingly - that blue is best, whereas those with the black cars prefer black.
Who'd a thunk it!
It is a silly question to ask. There are a lot of v shiny cars on this thread. I'm not so good at keeping my car that clean, sadly. It gets waxed and all the rest of it in order to protect the paint, but doesn't get cleaned much in between. I'm just not sure how well the black will tolerate a once a month wash.
DCM, your car is very cool. Love the black pack.PAGODA
