Interior Color Concerns

I know this question has been beat up but, does anyone regreat opting for the black/sahara beige over a darker color? I am concerned that the lighter interior will be ruined from dye transfer. Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated.

someone here already had his wife's black dress bleed on his beige. i was concerned about this as well. no doubt the beige is a SICK color.... but i went with black out of concern for this very issue.

Since the search is dead I'll post about my sahara beige car. I don't have kids and the wife and I tend to be the only ones who use the car. So far I haven't had any issues. I do have a little bit of mild discoloration where my belt hits the back of the chair but you wouldn't notice it unless I pointed it out. If your interior is going to see a fair amount of use (many people or items toted in the back seat) then you might want to avoid the beige and go for the black.

Thanks for the feedback! Has anyone tried (and if so does it work) on their interior simoniz or scotchguard etc...?

I've had a light leather interior on a BMW. The best insight I can offer is that if you have the body type that perspires readily, you will almost certainly experience color transfer at some point, such as from a dyed silk shirt that has already been dry cleaned several times before so that you feel it's safe to wear in the car on a hot, humid day. Personally, I'm tired of black interiors but they still are the best real world solution...

I had a white interior and used Zaino 9 Leather Soft Spray Cleaner on it once in a while. It kept it looking mint.
