Default Chalk/slate gray interior questions

Was curious if anyone has this color and if it will age well? Car will be garaged, but I am concerned over time plastic parts will start to turn yellow since it is such a light color?

Had a 991.2 with graphite blue/chalk for 3.5 yrs and now 992 with slate grey/chalk since 09/2020, no issues.

Any issues with denim? I was thinking of maybe putting seat covers to protect the seats from being stained.

Had 2 cars with chalk interiors. No issues. Raw denim could be a problem if consistently driving in them, but other than that you should be fine. I always kept to a regimen of using a leather cleaner every other time I washed my car and then a leather conditioner once a quarter. The seats looked good as new even after a couple of years.

Thanks for the tips. Did you ever experience any of the plastic parts turning yellow over time? I have a few friends who have a similar color interior in their bmw and the plastics started to yellow.

My current interior is agate grey which is relatively low maintenance, but before I’ve had saddle brown on my Mercedes.

I also had a 2012 F10 M5 with silverstone interior, after 4 yrs and 70000km, no issues either. You will need to spend some efforts maintaining but still very minimal work. Get yourself some good quality interior/leather cleaner/conditioner, it makes noticeable difference especially if you wear jeans often.
