The only thing different is the fabric on the seats and front door panel inserts is lighter. The dash and assorted other interior plastics are the same color.The slate sucks, it gets really nasty really quick if you're not careful! It's not so much the color, but the type of material that they used - even with water it will stain. The graphite is about the same as far as its inability to resist staining but since it is darker it isn't as obvious. Mine looked like absolute poop when I got rid of it! I tried and tried at first to keep the interior clean, then I just gave up. It was stained all over the place when I traded it in. The only pic I have of my old car's interior was when it was loaded up with garbage in the front floorboards. You can see the stained seat pretty good in that one.

The slate color is pretty much grey, doesn't look too bad. As long as it isn't tan
