In sail covers, we found blue worked best against fade. My guess is white and silver would be equal with black the worst.
My serious suggestion is that if you are parking all day, get a cover. I always covered one of my cars when I parked it for hours. After three years, a had a door damaged by a shopping cart. The body shop said they'd not be able to match the paint perfectly due to the car being 3 years old but the paint did match perfectly after all due to the cover being on when parked.
i have a cover for my C6 which rolls up to be as small as a light sleeping bag. No issue to cart around.

I bought a top of the line outdoor 5 layer cover for my Subaru that sits outside and I rarely use it because it's so heavy and very difficult to put on. Can't even tell the front from the back
Of course, I may just be klutzy ...

Covers are a total PitA to put on though, especially if there's any amount of wind, or it's raining. Of course, if it's a Vette it wouldn't be out in the rain .... :

I have a C6 cover which weighs maybe 2 lbs. It does the job and goes on almost instantly.

Pretty simple as others have said. If your going to spend good $$ on a car then Wax it regularly. If ur too lazy to. Pay someone to wax it. Otherwise by a Honda.
