Does Volvo's Platinum Grey show dirt as readily as a typical 'black' car?

It's well known that black cars are difficult to keep clean, they show dirt immediately, water swirls, paint damage, etc.

Volvo's Onyx Black color certainly would fit that mold, but what about Platinum Grey? Does it do a noticeably better job of looking sharp even with swirls / dirt / etc. when compared to Onyx Black?

I have Denim Blue now (very old model, upgrading rn) and don't mind how it looks when it's not fresh washed, just trying to figure out what to expect from a different color.

Thank you for anyone who can provide some anecdotal feedback on this!!

I have the platinum grey (reads different colors in different lights), I find it hides dirt well except for really light colors. I think with the diffusing color changes it would show less than Onyx black, but that is just me. 2023 CX60T5 (Platinum Grey/Maroon (brown interior))
