It probably shows the dirt more than the other colors. My last Vette was silver, so I can say the WGG definitely shows dirt more than that. Overall though, I don't feel like it's all that bad. And it's an absolutely beautiful color, especially in the sun.
You didn't mention your wheels preference, but for me the black wheels are harder to keep clean than I had anticipated. My silver Vette had silver painted wheels, and they weren't too bad to keep clean. The black wheels on my GS do require a lot more attention to keep clean.
I had the black wheels on mine but they seemed to wrok better with a more contrasting color, IMHO....and they only looked good unless they were absolutely clean, which was not often. They seemed dull and invisible in most lighting situations. I decided to upgrade to the machined faced wheels which always seem to look good. A bit of brake dust is not apparent at all on these.
I don't think WGG shows dirt more than any of the darker colors, and is certainly not as bad a black. Silver is the easiest to deal with, but I think the WGG is worth the extra effort.
Beautiful Color..With Shameful Quality.
COME ON MAN!!
I was not a fan of the paint/fitment quality of the early C7's....they were pretty bad. My '17 is actually quite good, with less orange peel than my last two Mercedes. Although certainly not perfect, it has less OP than any of my C6 Corvettes, and the fitment is excellent. I've seen new Jaguars, BMW's, and even Ferrari's with more paint issues. Having said all that, my wife's Genesis 5.0 has the best paint I've seen on a production car in years. Go figure.

And just how many do you think are out there right now?
I think I can add mine. Confusing. Window Sticker says Watkins Glen Gray, They key tag from the dealer says NightFall Gray, I checked the paint code on the car and it said 139X. I went online to order touch-up paint and they call it Son-Of-A Gun Gray. And remember there is Cyber Grey, & Shark Gray.
