Not really. Just have to avoid cleaners that have abrasives or polishes in them.
I've been using this on the wheels of my suv and the De Rosa to keep them fresh and clean.

It's not but: I have a bike that has Matte White/Black finish and I see signs of yellowing on the white parts on the top tube. I have not used used anything harsh (water at the most). I'd personally avoid anything that comes with a LOT of White parts.
My new frame has a naked carbon matte finish.

Its currently hanging on the rack as I recently sold the wheelset and swapped the crankset back onto the Ridley. I'm waiting for a set of FSA 386 EVO crankarms to be used with Praxis Works chainrings.

Bars have been dropped a little more since these pics were taken trying to optimize my endurance aerodynamics.
And I often have aerobars on it, since it's an endurance bike after all:

Not sure because most I have ever seen have always been the greys; blacks; graphites and so on in that family of colors. Would be nice if anyone has other colors to post. Have been a few members here post other colors but primarily yes, dark colors.
