Blacks probably the worst colour to keep clean.
I'd say apexs are probably the easiest (out of the wheels ive had anyway) no tiny gaps between spokes to try and clean with fat hands |

With just 7 spokes and a nice smooth gap between each one, I would say Meteors have to be one of the easiest wheels to keep clean:
Serpents less so. Cliff

Black is a nightmare. Not sure about wheels but my forked spokes are coming off tonight for a full clean, you cant get the backs done when they are on the car.

A black tourer with serpents, almost glad I don't have it anymore!
But they are all a pain, hairpins, straights, unions, et al. As for colours, they are all difficult to keep clean, busy show up worse on a lot of the really dark colours.

silver, red, burgundy and even navy were all colours that looked relatively clean even when they werent. White still looked clean until it rained and then it could look streaky, and would look really clean lol.
Black showed all of the dust, even if it was cleaned and hadnt rained for days or weeks. So probably that or my dark grey met. Volvo would be my worst.

As per opinion, black is a nightmare, silver is good.
Easiest to keep clean are 11 spokes I'd say, nice gaps and nothing small and fiddly.
