A polyamide molding composition for the production of a stain-resistant article, the staining tendency (ST) of the article being at least 2. The composition contains 30-100% by weight of a polyamide or a polyamide mixture, consisting of 50-100% by weight of at least one amorphous and/or microcrystalline polyamide having a glass transition temperature of at least 100° C., based on: 20-100 mol % of at least one cycloaliphatic diamine; and 0-80 mol % of at least one other aliphatic and/or aromatic diamine; and also aromatic and/or aliphatic dicarboxylic acids comprising at least 6 carbon atoms, and 0-50% by weight of at least one semi-aromatic polyamide. In addition, the molding composition comprises any of inorganic white pigments, fillers, impact toughness modifier and/or flame retardants.
