speaking from experience having a white Insight - it's definitely the toughest color to take care of properly. i wash my car every wkend... and still i find it gets dirty easily, esp under our weather.
will the color fade - eventually, yes. but that's true of any color regardless... how fast it fades/turn to cream color all depends how often u wash, where u park (under direct sunlight each day) etc.
go with what your heart tells you. i love my white - no regrets even tho its hard to take care of this color

My heart is telling me to go for the White as confirm can get it by this month ... the silver no guarantee ... maybe end of July or August.
Since the white is metallic .. should be ok I guess
Actually too much poison from reading this forum ...haha....

My previous 3 cars is Black and what I can say is, white is easier to take care compare with black.
White you don't need to worry about swirl marks. Silver also doesn't make much different, it's just get less obvious on the dirts.
Speaking about fade, now all the paint have very strong and thick clear coat, it's won't get fade easily somemore the white of Insight is metallic. This can withstand the colour fading for long periods.
If u hardly wash car, would suggest you to have car paint protection like PPS or Sierra Glow. Welcome to the family

Thanks for the clarification ... was worried that the white was a solid colour until I read your post and did a search online for the honda colour codes
White sounds and looks good.

Yeah white definitely the best color for most car. I am just too lazy and also cannot than dirt so I choose blue instead although I feel white is nice for sure.

well, i would say white color car would be the most difficult color to maintain as the dirts are so visible...
I need wash & wax my car almost every weekend...
anyway, i don't think the color would fade/turn yellow easily if you don't wash your car for weeks so long if you could bear with the dirtiness...hehehhe
on the bright side having a white color car, it has significant heat reduction when i parked my car under the hot sun as white color doesn't absorb the heat like another other color..

I like the heat reduction thingy .. will get the tint from the place I booked my car

I think the pearl white won't fade, but i will turn yellowish after a while (maybe after few months or year). same goes to silver and blue, the colour shade will be different after awhile. If you respray certain part with the same colour code, you will see it.
Black can reflects more hence you can see more of the car shape under the sun or even soft lighting. But Swirl mark is the #1 killer!
Pearl White contrast with the darker part (windows, tires, car number plat) and it makes insight look nice even under poor light condition

For lazy people like me, I chose silver

Hehe... that was my first intention in booking the silver colour ... if silver not guarantee can get ... maybe end of july .. maybe end of August ... and found out that white is a metallic colour should be long lasting.
