As per title, will the dark two colours scuff and mark or not? I currently have a silver IPX which is always in a case and doesn’t have any scuffs. I like the darker colours, for a change, but I am worried that they will show marks and scratches particularly in the steel?
 
Things you use daily will show use.
Yes, I agree, but the silver steel hides the scratches very well, and they can be buffed easily. If the darker iPhones have coloured dark steel, the scratches will show as brighter, not sure I am making sense Or clear enough.

It doesn’t matter. Just use the phone.
 
From my experience, the darker phones show light/regular-use scratches less, but do show deep scratches/scuffs more. Whereas the white/silver phones show light/regular-use scratches more, and deep scratches/scuffs less.

I used silver/white iPhone X, XS Max, and 11 Pro Max. And then Pacific Blue iPhone 12 Pro, and Sierra Blue iPhone 13 Pro. The colored metals definitely showed less wear and tare when compared to the white/silver.
