What colour of interior do you guys think I should go for:
My choices are silver or bonatti grey with black or alpacca leather my personal choice is alpacca as I have a white/cream golen retriever to go in the boot, but does the alpacca mark easily?

I have Alpacca and I am starting to regret it a little. Looks brilliant, shows the marks very quickly.

I've got Zambezi with Ebony leather. Yes it does show marks on the black leather, but it is easy to clean and looks fantastic. It is in no way dull. Its a matter of taste I suppose, some would say the alpacca looks too bright.

tan interior doesn't show dirt, but shows stains.
black interior shows dirt, but not stains.
My experience has been dirt over stains.
Its impossible to completely clean a coffee spill on anything but a black interior.

For silver or grey exterior I would recommend black interior. Alpacca would do fine with blue (contrast) and gold (similarity), but not as well with non saturated colours.
On the other side, if you dislike dark interiors, as was my case, you may still think that alpacca is the way to go. I didn't go that way for two reasons:- not all the interior is alpacca, so you wind up with a mixture of several different colours, including black
- I think black is easier to keep looking clean Anyway, don't forget to ask the dog.

Go with black.
It's not dark and enclosed as you would think. I had a beige interior in my last car and it was hopeless to keep looking clean.
I've done a reasonable bit of off-roading so far and it is very easy to clean with a vacuum and wet chamios.
