Hi,

I have Guards Red and Savannah Beige (Tan) interior. I love the Tan interior and haven't had any issues with it showing dirt, or keeping it clean. I always liked Tan leather interiors and have one in my Esprit also (called Magnolia).

Traditionally, only the best hides were reserved for being dyed Tan and other light colors because these colors would show all the flaws and scars in the hide. It bespeaks greater luxury and wealth than Black or Brown Leather which is so dark that any hides can be used.

Of course today, Auto-grade leather is so full of fillers and such that it doesn't matter. But, I still think Tan and lighter colored leathers look richer than the darker ones. I imagine they're more reflective and so marginally cooler as well...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
