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.

I'm with you there man.

Anyone ever own a black car? Hardest color to keep clean BY FAR. White is the easiest. Take a hint.

I got white but if I had my choice I'd probably get black.

Still white will stay cleaner.
