I had Orkney grey, it isn't too bad but still looks shabby if left, not as bad as black of course. It was the wheel colour against it that really put me offJoined the BMWX5 45e group

I've had black cars and now have a Corris disco and can say it definitely disguises mud and grime better than black.
Only thing is it looks oh so nice when it's clean and shiny - makes you want to keep it clean !!Velar MY18 D180 S Narvik

Thanks for the replies. I am intending to put more effort in to cleaning this car, especially with how much it costs and how awesome they look when clean.
Dave, have you going for the non-grey wheels on your black Disco? I think you said elsewhere that you had.
Robse, which wheels dos you go for with the Corris Grey?MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

Yes car is dirty, have covered 127 miles from new including 35 on the motorway in the rain. Goes like a rocket compared to my 06 D3!

Close up of dirt. Not as dirty as it could get but doesn't show much from a distance. Hope this helps with your choice of colour.

Very helpful indeed. Looks great even with the road grime, and the shiny wheels do work well with the Corris Grey. I have a favourite emerging...MY16 D4 Graphite in Loire Blue

"does it hide the day-to-day grime of British roads, mud and handprints?"

SWMBO'S MY10 Stornoway has been the family car, we have 4 children aged 5-9 & live at the end of a long farm track (floods in the winter, dusty in the summer). Car is going tomorrow & buyer happy with the condition, it still looks great at nearly 6 years old, dust/dirt doesn't show as much as on mine which is Baltic Blue. As stated before the replacement is a Corris GraphitePaul.
