Agree that the orange (which is indeed nice for the historical reasons as well) is easier on the eyes, if you switch over at night you can definitely see and feel the reduction in eye strain (at least I can) so I tend to do that, may see if I can make that a short cut button to save me the hassle going from well lit areas (mostly urban) where I prefer the blue to unlit areas where I switch to orange.
Good point about the interior colours and matching. Thanks, appreciate the feedback. ^

Strange, I was worried about this myself when I got the car but (knocks on wood) I haven't had any issue with dye transfer yet and have plenty of dark blue jeans and have sat in it when wet, etc...not had to do any extra cleaning (besides the odd vacuum) and a leather clean every second month or so...I have been watching this to see if it would take on colours but so far I've been either very lucky or they have improved this?
Safe travels everyone.
