All the light colored interiors are impossible to keep clean. You will have a new hobby. If you get a light colored interior, get the all weather mats so you don't have to clean them every week.

All dark colored exteriors are impossible to keep clean. You will have a new hobby. Get a Titanium Silver and keep it garaged or covered. You won't regret it. Wipe it down with a Quick Detailer regularly and wax it about every 4 months. You'll be happy.

Very true!!

Many years ago I bought my first Porsche while living in Ft Lauderdale and went with a linen interior (very light beige), because I thought the black would be too hot in Florida. Boy, it was a lot of work keeping it clean, even though I got black floor mats. The next car I bought had a light grey interior and it was also a lot of work, especially with kids. I've had black interiors in my last 4 cars...

Dark cars look the best after being freshly washed and waxed, but are just too high maintenance for me. I have silver gray, which is a nice compromise--light enough to be low maintenance and dark enough to show off the lines of the car.

Carbonblack/Tryffelbrown. Whatever the heck that means. I think I know what it means and, if correct, it looks good.
