Bought my 2024 new on 3/11/24 with Palomino Interior. Still looks great on both driver's and passenger's sides. Doesn't show dirt. The owner's manual tells you how to clean the synthetic leather

Love my Palomino interior makes me smile every time I see it. Similar color on another vehicle and it shows some dirt stain on the driver's seat because I let it go for years without cleaning but it's still not bad. I use that vehicle for going to gun ranges and such where my pants might have some dirt on them. The ES won't see that kind of use so I'm not a bit worried. Acorn or black if you don't want to worry at all.

I never saw Palomino in person, I may be wrong, but in the pictures it looks like yellowish. But acorn with bamboo look sick.

Depends on which model you get.. It is my understanding that my 2022 UL has real leather. It does get color transfer from wearing Levis. Easy to clean with Meguiers Leather clean and protect.. I am told the semi leather/neulux does not transfer colors. Never had the problem with other models I had.
Oh! Love the Palomino color... Wish it came with Nobel Brown

It's not so much the color that's the problem IMO, its the perforations that make it hard to clean in case of a spill.
Ask @lookinforalexus how he knows about cleaning up a Mess

I have it on my 22 ES350 UL and absolutely love it. Combined with the Nightfall Mica I still get lots of compliments on how rich the combo looks. Yes, being a light color it does take denim transfer but keeping up with it, a wipe down with a warm water cloth gets a lot of it, and then periodically I will use McGuires or Weimans leather cleaner/conditioner. I also use a “soft” toothbrush to give it a light scrub and the dye comes right off. The Wiemans Leather Conditioner has become my favorite as it cleans as well as conditions and leaves the leather, especially the semi-aniline inserts, super soft.

My '24 ES350 UL is "Nightfall" (down home we just call that "blue") with the Palomino interior, and, like ATL's note indicates, it's a beautiful combination. I had a similar interior in my Red RC for nine years, and it was never a problem. My choice has always been to have the interior in a different color from the exterior to give the car some visual definition. Unless your ES is going to be in the beige exterior color, the Palomino will look great, and should not show wear or dirt.

Palomino looks much better in person. For some reason, that shade seems to be difficult to render correctly, especially online.

Palomino does not look yellowish at all.
Acorn is a pretty dark brown, and I would not want my car to appear to be ill, with or without bamboo.

Palomino is what I wanted, and what I got, in my 2022 UL.
