Default Black or Parchment Seats?

The vehicles I'm looking at seem to be either parchment or black seats. I like the flaxen, but cannot seem to find too many of those. I'm not a fan of the grey either.

Between black and parchment, what does everyone prefer? The parchment is really nice, how the tan contrasts with the black carpet, door panels, etc. The black wouldn't show dirt/scratches.

What does everyone prefer, and why?

Thanks!

Parchment, looks classier and shows more of the interior details.

Parchment would always work better for me - hate black interiors that absorb sun rays and heat up too much in summer. I also think it looks better. I like flaxen too, yes, quite rare, I ordered a car with flaxen.

parchment is actually a really nice and classy color. it shows more details and draws less heats in summer time.

Black is like wine, it's better over time.. If you ever plan to sell the vehicle in 10 years, black would be the best option. It still looks good, and I have good window tint to block out the sun

+1 for black interior
Parchment gets dirty over the years, and will not look luxurious anymore.

Black makes the interior feel smaller.
