Color: Gray or Silver for a new Camry

I've narrowed it down to 2 colors for a new Camry I'm thinking of purchasing. If given a choice b/w these 2 colors which would you choose? Which is better looking over all? Which is easier to maintained?

Any other color you think is better?

I would personally go with the magnetic gray, I prefer darker colored cars as they can look extremely nice if they are clean and waxed. Also, there are a lot less gray magnetic gray Camry's then there are silver.

I voted for Magnetic Grey Metallic. I've seen very few Camry's in my area with this color, and I think it looks classier on this car. Plus, darker colors always look sexier than the light colors. Good luck with your decision. Whichever you choose will look good.

Thanks for the replys. I was told that Mag gray is popular here and alot of pp want this color. I like it too.

I agrre that mg looks great if kept cleaned but there's more maintenance if you have a darker color car. Silver on the other hand is low maintenace.

I'd go with the Magnetic Grey Metallic. (It was my second choice if they wouldn't have had a Blue Ribbon Metallic.)

The darker color will show dirt and scratches easier, but I think it's a much more attractive color overall. I've never been a fan of regular silver cars.

Personally, I think the Blue Ribbon Metallic looks best on CE, LE, XLE, and Hybrid models, but the Magnetic Grey Metallic looks best on SE models.

I think the Magnetic Gray is a much nicer color. The silver is very...plain!

I like the clean look of the Classic Silver Metallic, but the darker color will look a little nicer when the car is washed.

I have Lunar Mist Metallic on my Camry, which is close to the silver metallic. It doesn't show dirt much which is nice (My black Maxima gets dirty really fast).

Paint chips seem to look worse on darker cars as they stand out more (especially on the leading edge of the hood).
