Need Help With Paint Choices!!!!

hey i am getting my 95 gxe that is now white painted, and i was wondering what everyone thought is the best color to get it painted. I was thinking black bc it seems like it would be the cheapest for some reason, but im just looking for basic colors, not like lexus paints bc i dont have that much money!!!

When I bought my 94 Altima, I chose white. The only reason is it reflects most of the radiated heat in hot summer. when I bought my 96 Maxima I chose pebble beige metallic. Reason is I know it hides dust well. Metallic type of paint looks shiny but due to the static electricity it collects dust easily, and probably is more expensive to paint and to match and repaint. Many years ago I was told Silver fades fastest due to its chemical content. Second is Red. White is the last.

Silver (or a light grey).

Blue is played out, yellow is too ricey, black is impossible to keep clean, red is okay if it's the nice shade of red (like the 3rd gen red), green/purple are just no-nos.

Silver!

I would go with silver. I originally had the Nissan platinum silver and changed to the BMW titanium silver. It's looks brighter and better. I also put a touch of blue pearl in the clearcoat to make the color unique to my taste.
