Hello i sold my space grey AW4 for get a new AW 6 and in this moment i order the silver aluminium version.
I have time to change my choice and i ask you if Red or Blue ara a good paints against scratches.

THe paint scratches re my big problems with space gray because my AW4 loose the gray paint in 2 years without damage.
 
The same will happen with the colors. There’s no such thing as red and blue aluminum. It’s a chemical process that makes the colors. It only does the surface. Get a case or stick to silver.

+1 with @JBaby I would imagine silver will be your best choice if you want to minimize visibility of scratches/wear and tear. My unsolicited advice, forgive me, is to just enjoy the best Apple Watch you can afford. I had a space gray aluminum that I was genuinely sad Apple replaced when I sent it in for battery replacement. I overcame my concerns about scratches after about six months and began to appreciate its weathered appearance. Still think about fondly. Granted, I put it through its paces with my work so ymmv.

That’s never happened to me. My S5 only lost color from where the band slides along the edge. I could only be seen when the band was removed. My case was a RhinoShield CrashGuard NX.
 
My cover take my bad surprise
This are the silver points in my old Aw4 after i toggle the the cover.
This damage was at 20 first to lost the warranty

I hate this problems when my product have warranty because. I can accept after 3-4 years but not after 20 months!
