Looking at a new CR-Vs with black and beige leather interior. Seems the
black would hide dirt better but wanna make sure. I have two golden
retrievers and they are going to be in the car a lot.

Also, I'm in Houston where it's hot as hell. Does black really absorb a lot
more heat than lighter colored interiors?

Thanks.

You could carry a small vaccum and do frequent quick cleans when you carry
your pets.

Black shows scratch marks, absorbs the heat then develops cracks on the surfaces.

Black? Get the maximum legal tint if you do this, it will make a real
difference. Probably worth the top of the line metalized stuff.

Black will hide dirt much more so than beige. But the retreivers
throw a wrench in this... I had a friend with 2 and envision a half
inch of hair in the floor of the car. If that's how it will be, then
beige is the better choice.
