Default Thoughts on getting a trailer in color

I am considering having a new trailer build done in one of the available ATC colors that closely matches my barn. Aside from potential resale difficulties, is there any downside to ordering a color?

The only one that comes to mind is that graphics/logos on the trailer would need to be white on a burgundy background instead of black.

Would it look dirtier or cleaner than white?

Thoughts?

Wrap the whole thing?

Don't know. It would be reversible and addresses your resale concern.

I'm thinking downsides are:
It will be hotter inside
It will show fading
But it will look great

I positive that I hope you never have to experience is that a special color is easier to find if stolen.

We had our minivan wrapped and it's parked outside. A 3M wrap will last about 5 years before it starts to disintegrate.

Yup dark background will be hotter inside, upside, easier to find in paddock :-)

Will spend more time parked with barn (outside?) so will make the neighbors slightly happier if it "blends in".

Only live once, go for it, plenty of white trailers already in the paddock.
