Boy..I didn' think the colour of your car would start this much debate/contoversy....having a white car is no harder to maintain than any other colour IMO. But here in AZ, it is much cooler than having a darker coloured one....my black Tahoe was hard to cool down after sitting in the 110 degree heat for 8 hours.....and having Orion blue would have the same effect in the heat.....now I do have to deal with the black leather interior in the car....I dont know which is worse...
sorry...I would post a pic, but I am still low tech and dont have a digital camera yet.

Although I dont' like white on many cars. the C230 looks great in white and it impressed me when I first saw it. I have black because that was the price I had to pay to be first to get it. If I was ordering I would either get white or silver. As for keeping the white or blue cleaner, it's not that white will mask dirt, it's that white doesn't show swirl marks as much as darker colors.

Get the colour you like. But with so many Orion blues around I
would say get something different.

My C240 is white with Java. In AZ, white does make sense, but I think my next car will be black. Haven't had black yet and I think it makes a car look sweeeet! It's obviously on the other end of the spectrum (maintenance wise) from white.

Seems like every other car in AZ is white....because it is cooler...and all the retirees have them...no offense....
but I will stick with either white or black....boring..maybe..but simple choices....wonder if the C32 comes in any other colour other than silver? maybe one day..saving my pennies.....
