Black on Parchment or Grey??

I have reserved a Black on Parchment that will be delivered in 3 weeks. However, I was just informed that they have available a black on Grey. Any opinions on interior colors? Is one easier to keep clean than the other?

I have a WDP/Parchment and love it. My very close second choice was a black/camel.
The grey interior doesn't much for me but hey whatever you like is more important.

Between the two? Parchment. The Gray is too Honda-ish for me.

However, I think if you get Parchment... you get the woodgrain interior. With Gray, you get Carbon Fiber.

Gray? It is called "Quartz" and I think the black dash and quartz interior looks nice. Parchment is too light and will show dirt easily.

The parchment does have the wood grain treatment on the console and all 4 doors. It does look very nice but the OEM floor mats are more difficult to keep clean. A must have upgrade are the black all-season mats, they go perfect with the black that is on the console and the doors and make cleanups a simple chore.

The grey interior is dull, get a color, grey is not a color.

I think it's interesting that people ask other people's opinions (strangers on an Internet board, no less) when it comes to colors. Get whatever looks best to you! And don't settle for something just because you can get it sooner.

Go to the dealership. Unless it's a tiny one, they will have most colors to look at, though maybe not in the combinations you want. See in person whether you like Parchment or Quartz better. They create very different interiors!

Yes darker interiors are easier to "keep clean" (meaning "keep clean looking" because they hide the dirt better!) but IMO that shouldn't be your deciding variable unless you have kids and/or pets constantly in and out of the car.

The deciding variable should be whichever colors look best to you! It's that simple really.

The Black w/ quartz is a nice combo. The Black dash, carbon fiber trim and aluminum trim seem to flow a little better than the Black w/parch. The black/parch just seems like too much of a contrast (IMO).. (brown)Wood, (silver)aluminum trim and (Black) dash with the (tan) leather?? It looks good but just not my preferred taste
