Ortlieb Bikepacker Plus - Color Choices
Seems like a trivial thing to fuss about, but does anyone have any experience with the wear-ability of the bluish-grey color vs. the blackish-grey?
Would like to get something that will still look OK after miles, dust, and wear.

Not directly related to OP's question, I've figured I'd rather get something a bit brighter than gray or black so when I'm riding in rain or fog, there's something to catch approaching motorist's eyes.
My red Ortliebs faded quite a bit; there's a definite shift in color between the rim that's shaded, and what's been exposed to sunlight. My yellow panniers haven't faded, although they're newer.
I didn't realize the high-vis were reflective all around. The extra 25% is a disincentive. How well does the reflective material show up in daytime showers?
