Which Exterior Color is best

Just purchased a Q5 yesterday (yeah!!!!) but am having a heck of a time choosing my colors!
Have tentatively chosen Ibis White with the black interior, but am also considering brilliant black or ice silver. I am a silver girl (currently have a silver A4) and like that classic look. Love black as well and realize this is very popular but worry about the dirty issues. I do like the white - it kind of has a sportier feel - but worry I'll get sick of it.
With the interior I really like the beige but my husband thinks the dashboard looks green. I like the light grey too but again with the light colour worry about the dirt. Although I have black interior now and with the two kids eating snacks and the street salt in the winter it can look pretty rough as well!
Opinions/suggestions please!!!!!
Thanks!

Since you already like silver, and it looks the best even when slightly dirty, that would be my vote.
Black looks great, but requires eternal vigilance.
White is a girl's color.... oh, wait a minute.![Wink](https://www.audiworld.com/forums/images/smilies/wink.gif)
As you know, a black interior, much as exterior, tends to show dirt more. Light gray would be my vote for interior.
Great vehicle, no matter what the colors. Enjoy!

We stayed away from blacks and the other very dark colors, given the amount of sunshine most of the year where we live and because dark colors show dirt very easily (a problem during our dry season). We chose Quartz Gray, because we really liked the color and It is a reasonably light color

I had my heart set on the moonlight blue till I saw a swatch of the glacier white that will be available for MY 2012, check it out. I think it's a beautiful white that in the shade almost looks like a grayish hue. I guess I'm picking a girl color...

Quartz Gray with black interior.
Or ....Meteor Gray with black interior.
I have a loaner Deep Sea Blue with light gray interior and it looks horrible.
The interior is blinding and the exterior always looks dirty.
