Best decision ever? Verdant Green

I love this color and hate it at the same time :) best colour to have, but I cant keep this car clean.. even after cleaning it an hr later there is dust on it that I can see. When I drive its even worse.

The picture below shows: washed an hr ago and only drove 10kms

To be honest, one of the reasons I ordered the DV was because I didn't want non-car enthusiasts to mistake the Emira for an Italian F....
Is it my obsession with British cars in traditional GP colors, yes British Green?
I think Emira is always beautiful in any color. Even red, of course.

Yeah mine does the same. I use a leaf blower when I get home to blow the dust off the back of the car. I think the car builds up a static charge when driving, so that dust is magnetically attracted to the back because it's ridiculous how much and how fast dust accumulates there. My car is ceramic coated so it comes off easy enough, but it's still crazy.

The way the air flows over the Emira probably creates a pretty strong vacuum behind it which of course would pull dust onto the back. That plus the road dust coming off the rear wheels is coming through those vents in the back of the car. I remember a photo of early test cars in Europe driving around with Gurney flaps on the back. I wonder if they were using those to try and break up the airflow suction on the back of the car?
 
I like dark verdant, but I don’t get why it gets so much more love than my shadow grey. In anything but direct sunlight I have a hard time telling them apart.
I have confused Verdant Green, with the Meridian Blue numerous times on here. Side by side, its easy to tell, but isolated photos under various light conditions, not so much
