Myself. I love both, so I'm looking for a nudge I guess...
I am a silver type guy. My 4runner was silver and it is easy to keep clean and maintained and hides scratches, etc. White is my 2nd favorite color so IMO you can't go wrong with either but if I had to choose im going silver.
Silver May show fading/oxidation a bit more but will also reveal if po has kept the paint protected. White hides imperfections and dents quite a bit but feel like every white lc I see is being driven by an old former president’s wife.

I agree silver is a more forgiving color to maintain and keep clean. Surprised nobody has an opinion on tan vs gray interior, though.

There it is! I spoke too soon.
I do like the gray over tan but I found a nice River Rock LX with the tan interior so I can live with it.

River Rock is an excellent color! I would've done the same.
After washing and detailing cars daily for about a year, silver seemed to be one of the easiest color to keep looking sharp due to the light color in addition to the metallic flake.
After previously owning a silver car, I said I wouldn't buy another when it came to my next vehicle. What did I do? Bought another. But honestly, it's really grown on me. Champagne Pearl (I call it silver, fight me) on tan is, IMHO, timeless. If I had to do it over again I'd go with Galactic Grey or River Rock... Hell even the Mahogany is nice. But like @knewstance mentioned, can't beat silver if you want to keep it clean even with little effort. I haven't washed my truck once and it still looks decent, even through the winter with salted roads.
If I were to do it again, I would get white just because I think it would be cool to make a replica Australian poverty pack 105, SAS it and reupholster with cloth seats -
Before I bought mine I saw pictures of this silver cruiser and it sold me on the color combo. Hard to beat two tone black and silver
So that's how I built mine:

I actually prefer the silver, but both options are great.
In reality, you're searching for a 13 year old vehicle. The odds are low that you'll find yourself in a situation where you get to choose between two 100s in similar condition, with similar maintenance histories, for a similar price in your area. You'll end up buying the best one you can and color will likely become secondary.

Im partial to it because its my color, but thundercloud metallic. When clean and waxed on a sunny day its dark silver. As it darkens it turns into a light gray. It actually reacts well when reflecting the skys color. Hides dirt decently too.
If i didnt like what i got so much i would choose white.
