Torn between A-Spec colors: White or gray?

I've never ever considered a white car, but the white paint / red seats / gray wheels combo is awfully darn sporty.

I expected my next car would be gray, but I worry that when combined with the dark A-spec features it looks very drab when it's not all cleaned up.

Any impressions of these colors?

I chose the white A-spec. From the anecdotal viewpoint this is the most popular trim and color combo when driving around.

If you wanna be different dont choose this combo. I found the grey more stealthy and less flashy.

I'm a huge fan of Gray cars. The Modern Steel color is absolutely gorgeous with the black accents and red interior. I was set on that color combo until the dealer pulled out a black one for me to test drive. I instantly fell in love with the black but the only downside is the black a-spec accents don't pop like on other colors.

Same with Gray-the black accent does not stands out much especially if its cloudy-if i have to do it all over again i would have choose the silver color or red.

so OP to answer your question, go with white!

Both colours are great. I have a 2020 white rdx and a modern steel honda odyssey. I think the white stands out a little better. The only disadvantage I find with the white colour if you get stone chips
its more visible whereas the steel colour hides them well.

I have a white Advance. This is my only regret in buying the RDX! I REALLY wanted red, and anytime I see one, i just sigh. The White is nice. It was my second choice. We have a 2020 CR-V Touring in Modern Steele. It is awesome, but, in my mind, Red Rocks! (but I don't like red interiors.)
Oh, you can see all this in my sig below, except my passion for red cars.

Ha, for about 2 milliseconds. Northern VA is hell on black cars. There's junk from the air/trees landing on the car 300 days out of the year, especially at our house which is in a woodsy area. My wife has a black truck that keeps me busy enough.

I worked for Acura dealer for 3 years

White is FAR more popular than gray aspec. White will age better if you plan to keep long term. White will show off the body lines better. White contrasts more with the black accents. White is easier to keep clean. See where I am going with this? My TLX is grey, but it's not an aspec (its a 2015). Personally, I would do blue aspec then white 2nd choice. Actually, GET THE PMC IN ORANGE haha. Just throwing it out there, its gorgeous. A premium price for sure but it will make people say "woah".

Silver works well, it kind of splits the difference between white and grey.

I went with white myself and I love the look. My niece said it looks like a Stormtrooper and I'm fine with that
