Default Which exterior paint color is the best/economical?

Hi I like the cool silver, but wife likes metallic brown or mercury gray.
My question is, among these three colors, which one is the best option speaking of longevity, resistance to scratch and low cost to touch up if needed?

Where do you get such paint for touch up? dealerships? autobody shops?

Thanks a lot!

I went to a body shop the other day with my wife's cool silver Outlander, was told that a whole paint job would be in the area of $7k, that I should pick up some touch up paint at a dealer or automotive paint supplier.

The first thing I did to my outlander was to wrap it with xpel ultimate and coat it with opticoat. Not only does it help prevent scratches and paint chips, it's super easy to wash and keep clean.

Grey would be the cheapest to keep up with.
