You should get the color you like best. The old colors were called Java and Sand dollar, with sand dollar being a lighter shade. I think the "ivory" is even lighter then sand dollar. I like the lighter color and have the sand dollar on my boat. I do not allow any shoes of any kind on the boat. We have a shoe box on the swim platform or toss shoe under the seat. The number one cause of skuffs and marks are shoes. All it takes after every use is a quick wipe down of the seats with a wet towel followed by a rub with a dry towel. I often use a tad of mild soap on the wet towel. Call me odd but I love the interior of the bennie and don't mind giving it a quick clean at the end of each use. My cushions do not have a single mark on them, and I am glad I went with the lighter color.
