I noticed this also when looking at used 9-5's... the gray interiors seem to hold up a little better aesthetically. That said, we got a tan one + it is not bad. I think it depends on the car. Of our c900's, the tan interior is doing fine (looks better than many used 9-5 tan interiors I've seen). The gray interior is also doing fine. They were different years + the wear is different: 1989 (gray) driver's seat leather is cracking but the seat itself otherwise feels new to sit in vs 9-3, leather a little worn but no damage but the seat contours (lumbar etc) are now less firm.... both have similar miles with similar ownership for most of their existence.
my point: I think there are many factors involved... pick whichever you prefer... I like tan because it gets a bit less hot in the summer + I like warmer tones for an interior... but I don't dislike gray/black either...
