    imho, pareho lang yan maintenance wise.
    but my personal choice would be bluish silver para medyo kakaiba.

    If safety (visibility) and maintainance is a concern then the bluish silver is the color to choose without doubt. Black is less visible at night, absorbs heat during the day and is more susceptible to scratches and dirt being visible. What's nice with black lang is when it's clean and shiny... ganda.

    bluish silver, or white, even. Both easier to maintain... but white stands out as a proper "Honda Color". White tends to mask scratches, even though it gets dusty easily.

    And a lot of people are buying silver now, so it would be nice to be a little different.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    I agree , ganda sana ng black. Macho ang dating. First thing that enters my mind is this particular color each time I'll get a new car. Kaya lang yung visibility concern always gets in the way.

    Silver Variants is a nice color. For me it's a "safe color".

    On maintenance, black requires more TLC than bluish silver, as dirt and scratches are more obvious on black.

    On safety, black is less visible at night/in the dark (i.e. parking).

    On looks, bluish silver is more unique, but a well-maintained black will stand out in a crowd.

    Personally, I'd get the black one.

    salamat sa mga advices nyo. based on your comments, mas marami bluish silver since it is easier to maintain and safer at night. i think my friend is already considering bluish silver.

    Bluish Silver is easier to maintain. Dust and swirl marks are hard to see from afar.

    Black gives off a deeper shine, although the owner has to be meticulous to maintain it's luster and pristine. dust, scratches and swirl marks can be easily seen on black cars.

    Also, someone told me that darker colors like black/dark blue have higher premiums when paying for insurance. Maybe because they're more accident-prone at night?

    Honda Black - Avoid at all cost (not because of the guaranteed paint defect, but Honda black is just a pain to maintain, paint is too soft, all defects sink in extremely easily.)

    Besides, Honda black isn't pure black, it's bluish/black so it doesn't really get that "deep".

    Sir theveed, let me clarify, is this for the new civic black or the old model black? How would you rate bluish silver color? Is it also "maporma" or too conservative or executive? (your opinion sir is most valuable)
