Any dark color will show swirls more than a lighter color although they all get swirl marks the same. White will have to be horribly swirled before you notice it, but white shows dirt pretty badly.

Silver or a lighter grey metallic are the best for looking clean and not showing the swirls.

As for a black car, it would have to be a HELL of a good deal!
