I am a new owner of a used 2018 V6 Dynamic R with red interior. Any suggestions for touch up worn area's around the cup holder lid on the center console? Thanks
Not sure what the material is you are trying to touch-up, but I definitely would not use a magic marker.
Whenever I have tried that trick (even with black) it never looked good, though sometimes wood stain colors work OK on floors and furniture.
If you are trying to match an interior color that is the same as the exterior color there are several on-line sellers for small touch-up colors guaranteed to match.
There may also be matching paints or interior colors (if dfferent to exterior).
I also believe I read that there are also color match touch-up stains for interior leather.
The paint is on the plastic console around the cup holder. It is red and the car is Silicon Silver. It seems the previous owner may have used the cup holders alot and some of the color is worn away. The parts guy at the dealership wasn't aware of a touch up product. Wondering if anyone else has run into this. Thanks for responding.
I use Seat Doctors leather dye on my red seats and it has been great - perfect colour match and really easy to use.

Your seats look to be the same colour as mine but even if they are not all you need to tell Seat Doctors is the trim colour code (three letters) per the paint and trim code sticker on the door jamb (my sticker is on the LHS).
It should work on the plastic console just as well as it works on the seats.
One tip - don't rub or smear it on instead dab it on with a soft cloth.
My trim code is CH with the third letter being the one after W but my keyboard has given up the ghost on typing that letter!
Edit 2 - per the Seat Doctors site you want Red one, same as mine (see my sig). My keyboard has also given up on the letter three letters after W, time for a new keyboard!
