Well, it does not get any more "colored" than my interior. Hopefully I can help out with some of your questions. First, the new material that MC (& I assume other manufacturers are using) is textured and does not hold heat like the vinyl on older boats. I went aggressive and have a black interior in a boat...and its amazing in person, pictures don't do it justice, and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The black in direct sunlight will be cooler to the touch than the "dove gray" color that was the accent on my 2007 X Star. I would not have a worry at all about this unless you live where its 100F + every time you are out. I'm from Michigan and this actually extends the season because it does hold a little of that early spring and late fall sunshine in. As far as holding up, it is only a year old, but if you take care of anything it will last. I have no worries about fading. Get the interior the way you want...be bold, it is a boat, it is supposed to be fun!!! Let me know if you have any other questions.
