I have owned two white boats, a black one and now this one. Colors are Black Fox and Mohave. Kind of a charcoal color with multiple color flakes and a burnt copper.
Been the easiest to maintain and isnt hot.

I have a light gray hull, charcoal gray cap and sides with maroon accents. The light gray hull is easy to keep clean. I just wipe the scum line off immediately after I put it on the trailer. The charcoal gray top is not hot. I think a white hull would be tough to keep clean down here with the stained water we have but a lot of guys run them.
All of my fiberglass bass boats have been some combination of blue/white/silver and maybe a little red accent.

I remember one pro said he did not buy a flake boat, because it adds weight. Kinda laughed, but it was in Bass mag. In the 90s....

Allison won't make a boat with flake for that reason... Unnecessary added weight... Dan
"Usually it is recommended to use around 16 oz of metal flake per gallon of gelcoat and personal preference plays a role as there us no magic ratio for adding flake. The typical bass boat will use 2-3 lbs of metal flake in the gelcoat.Jul 23, 2012"
Green flake all day long for me!

platinum silver / gunmetal / graphite / for poly flakes and white gelcoat and black hulls matter
Bottom line you have to get what you like no matter what anybody else thinks.
Yes I have the silver shades with black stripes as well, they turn black on the water and are very hard To see
I like all boat colors myself but I ordered my Sterling in Gator orange and blue seats .

1) easiest cleaning/maintenance White or a silver or champagne like color
2) best at not standing out on the lake Darker color or a greyish color
3) not collecting too much heat from tropical sun White or a silver color
Black is certainly the hottest and shows every speck of dirt
White is the coolest and shows dirt but only up close except for the scumline
A white hull will also be the cheapest to fix if needed and easiest to match on color when fixing.
Metallic Silver doesn't show sins as bad.....

My blue/black boat shows water marks easily. Looks great clean though. If I was buying new today I would get a boat with a white base and red accents.
