I'm also willing to put a coat of Zaino on it once or twice a month to keep it looking great.

Good luck with your color choice. Don't think about resale value or what other people will think. Just do what pleases you. We only live once.
Funny to notice you have been reading my thoughts. I agree every colour has its downsides, which makes deciding very difficult. After seeing a car in person, you think you are convinced. Surfing the Internet afterwards to get even more convinced often has a negative effect. You start doubting again. In my case that results in considering the safe choise: Titanium Silver. This colour doesn't have a lot of downsides, the only very important downside is that it is so extremely common and therefor boring, especially when you have already driven a Titanium Silver car for more than 6 years.

Keeping a car clean does not really influence my colour choice. Waxing my car to keep it look great doesn't bother me, I must admit I even enjoy it.

Gantra, I will definitely keep your advice in mind!
