Im thinking white will get the least dirty, but this assumtion is based on automotive paint. To get technical here for a sec, black has a much higher DOI (Depth of Image) than white, which is why you can see your reflection in it, so it shows even the finest of scratches and smudges.
Also the color black will absorb and retain more heat than white. (point a laser pen at anything black and the dot gets sucked into the color and gets small, point it at anything white and its displaced and is big)
Im getting black though because i"ll probably upgrade again next year.
