We picked the White Diamond with the Cashmere because of the heat here in Florida. Our Volvo XC90 was silver and got fairly hot when compared to our white Honda Odyssey - so the white won out for us.enclave4her said:We faced the same dilema as well and in the end my wife choose the Platinum with Ebony (her vehicle). Both colors are excellent choices and we got to see each one at the dealer before deciding. Based on past experience with both colors the Platinum is easier to maintain and we didn't think the extra $ was worth the color choice.
