    Hi guys,

    Which color is more of a fingerprint magnet? Would the finger marks show up prominently on the surface?

    really appreciate the feedback, trying to figure out which color to choose for the R3.

    thanks!

    Well, I have Nebula Red and although it does show some fingerprints, they dont jump out at me and are easily removed with a microfibre cloth.

    Mind you, mine is an R2 and the lid is aluminium and I dont think the R3 lid is metal - the material/finsih may take on fingerprints differently to what my R2 does.

    Would imagine black would show more marks than red though regardless.
