What is the best furniture fabric and color for pet hair?

I have an Australian shepherd and two cats. I want to get microfiber furniture (the cats are not declawed). I want to know is this the most durable fabric for my money? Also, what color should I pick so pet hair won’t really be too noticeable? I can’t really prevent the animals from getting on the couches because they sleep on it at night and during the day when I am at work. So:
Best fabric?
Best color?
Cleaning suggestions?

Also, I do not want to put a furniture cover over the couches. Thanks.

One good hint of advice—-Get a pet throw (couch blanket) for the areas they sleep on, it’ll save the furniture. Also a miracle brush to get fur off easily. The blanket can be washed as needed, and a second blanket may be needed to cover all the couch if the dog is up there too. I’d rather get fur on the blanket which is replaceable, than woven into the furniture cushions.

Now if you are just starting out in the internet marketing arena, I suggest taking a few baby steps and that means starting out with the Mining Money Online program that is taylored just for newbies in the affiliate marketing Business and it comes at a price that every one can afford of $77

Best color? I’ll say gray. I’ve got a medium brown and things show up on it. Black or white would show fur like crazy. Plaid is ugly, but will disguise the fact some fur is on it.

A loose weave is the worst for cats, it encourages them to dig claws in. A tight weave like most ‘furry’ upholstery fabrics is pretty good.
