Would you order white leather seats in the Northeast?

Anyone have any opinions or experience with this color? I take very good care of my cars but will I still regret this decision?

Thanks!

I have opinion.
One needs to keep his/hers ass clean.
This way white seats may stay clean longer.

I have ivory white vernesca leather seats. They're bullet proof (and that includes the dog slobbering all over them) but if you wear jeans I'd recommend washing them a few times to get the excess dye out. Otherwise you're good to go.

I’ve had white/ivory leather on an M6 GC a few years back and it turned blue. I wear jeans most of the time and it transferred to the leather.

Beige and white are only OK if you never wear denim. What does the NE have to do with it?

Thanks!
Do you have kids?
Do you wear jeans a lot?
Is this your daily driver?
Do you eat or drink in your car?

Yes to any of the above is a reason I would say no.

If you love it get it, just remember - permanent staining IS a possibility with this leather.

Your best defense against this is to get the all the seats scotch guarded RIGHT AWAY (the dealer might be able to do it for you).

Clean once a month at least with a good leather cleaner and avoid wearing black clothing that looks like it could transfer dye.

I have the Ivory White Extended Merino leather and love it.
