Well, I'm about to throw some AMUs at redoing the interior

colors for the interior rugs, wall panels, seats? Do the
lighter color fabrics show the dirt too easily?


Yes.

The red carpet and seat materials in my plane have collected many permanent
stains in their 24 years of service. The new carpet will be dark blue and
the seat fabric will be gray speckled with darker gray and black. I
selected them partly for their stain-hiding qualities.

Go with light grey, specked grey is cool.

Dark colors get hot in the sun.
