    Does colour affect the karakal grips? I heard that the white grips were better because they had the less dye in them but does this really make a difference?

    Yes they do, I've used karakal since i've started and i've now changed to yellow because it seems the most suitable for me.

    Obviously the more dye the harder it is, white is tacky but i don't prefer it because it's still usable but gets dirty too quick. So my second choice is yellow as it is soft and also longer lasting.

    Kind Regards

    Normally, ligher color has lighter dye, hence, the softer feels but easier to get dirty.
