Interior leather: stone versus graphite ease of care?

Still shopping for a 2013 G37x sedan. I don't care a lot about the outside color and seem to have a lot to choose from in the Seattle area.

I also have a choice between graphite and stone leather. Comparing the interior leather colors:

1) Is one harder to clean/take care of?
2) Does one wear better than the other?
Thanks,
Eric
Seattle

If you wear jeans alot of get the darkest color. My taupe seats turned blue after 1 year in my Acura RL with light interior.

Black will be without a doubt easier to care for. They'll wear the same but black won't show dyes/dirt anywhere near as much.

Just use good leather cleaner and conditioner and you'll be fine

Black gets just as dirty as stone leather, thing is you don't notice it as much until it gets really bad.

Best product out there... Leatherique. Google it.

I don't think the leather quality on the G is as good as it could be. I only have 37k miles on my car, and have regularly cared for and cleaned the seats. And yet, I have a growing patch of ugly on my driver side center panel. SMH
