Interior Color - will it last?

I tested the Carbon Bronze with ebony interior and the interior seems to very bright and I really like it but being nice and practical is not necessarily the same..

The light gray interior feels like it can get dirty very quickly. Would black interior last longer and had better overall condition after 5 years of usage?

There is no light gray interior as far as I know in the RDX. There is taupe which is a light beige and ebony which is the black.

I think either one will hold up fine over 5 years. Especially if cleaned and treated once a year.

Taupe will show scuffs. Ebony will show dust. Take your pick! (I prefer Ebony myself).

We have an RSX with the black interior and it sure does get dusty, especially a pain to clean in the seams. I went with the taupe because of it and I love it. I think it looks very classy. With that in mind, I did get the all weather mats to protect the floor.

04 TL w/ ebony interior and it stays perfect all year round. My parents have a RL w/ a taupe interior and the seats/door show a high degree of scuff marks.

IMO, ebony is the only way to go if you're concerned about the cleanliness factor.
