Hello guys, I'm in the market for a 2019 Civic Hatchback Sport Touring and I can't decide between the two colors for hiding dirt. So in your opinion which of this two colors hide the most dirt/scratches on a car?

Go for the SGP. It's a medium light color and while it may not hide dirt as easily, it's much more unique than LSM.

I can speak for Lunar Silver.
It doesnā€™t ever look really dirty.
Mine has been through a touch-free wash once since I bought it in August and has only seen a hose a couple of times to wash off errant bird shit.
What with winter and road salt, I can see it looking crappy this winter.
My opinion only... take it as you wish.
I can see the Sonic Grey being a trendy type of colour that wonā€™t last too long in the marketplace, kind of like the horrid teal colours that were really popular in the early ā€˜90s and (thankfully) disappeared just as quickly.

SGP truly is a unique color and I have never even seen it on the road out of all the many 10th gen Civic I see daily; however, my goal is to pick the color which can hide dirt pretty good on a car. I don't have a garage so the car would always be parked on the driveway or on the street if this can help me out with member's opinions on the subject.

Iā€™ve got a LSM hatch and despite my griping about not being able to wash it as regular as I did in summer, it holds up pretty well at hiding dirt. Canā€™t speak for SGP, although I will admit itā€™s a sweeter looking color. I like the LSM look with the sport package hatch since the LSM/Black congrats well.

Lunar silver. I had crystal pearl black and went from wiping it down four times a day( I have OCD) , to once a week with the lunar silver. The lighter colors hide slight scratches way better. Seemed lined with the darker color, if I looked at it wrong it got scratches,lol

Go Sonic Gray, your effectively getting a car that will be 3 shades of Gray depending on the lighting :)
How well does it hide dirt and grimes though? I will have to see it in person for the first time to see if I'll like it better than the silver just because every picture I see here on the forums it looks all different just like you said with 3 shades of gray.

IDK about dirt hiding but SGP is far more desirable to me. If they had it on the sedan I would have got it no debate.

My SGP looks clean most of the time, even when its dirty. The color is super unique and I never stop getting compliments on it. I vote SGP.
