Default What color carpet mats for Ecru interior? Black or Ecru?

I have a 2008 SC430, Matador Red with Ecru interior. The Ecru carpet mats don't stay clean and I'm considering replacing them with back mats.

What are your thoughts?

JR

Tons of threads on this, all pointing to black as the best choice. Everyone pretty much agrees ecru is impossible to keep clean.

I couldn't even keep my saddle color mats clean let alone ecru. I ended up buying a set of black from Sewell. Not only they don't show the dirt, in my opinion, they look better than the saddle. Do yourself a favor and get some black mats.

I did the same. Replaced my ecru mats with black ones from Sewell.

Me too, tried (unsuccessfully) to keep the ecru mats clean. Even after steam cleaning they got dirty within a week. Have had black ones in in for several months, all they need is a quick vacuum.

Ok, so I couldn't resist adding an additional two cents..... Black is the color of choice, you won't be sorry....
