Blue is best, though I'm also a big fan of Prism Silver with the black pack. Daytona is a safe bet on any Audi too.

Panther black but I am biased!! Had mine gtechniq'd on pick up and I couldn't be happier. Got a mate with one in the primer grey and he agrees he would have had panther over that if he chose again.

If i get another one i'll be going with porsche's grey black they did on the gen 2 997 gt3, with the carbon again and black wheels a bit like this. Much darker than Nardo which is everywhere now.

Looks like agate grey. Was there a special colour for the Gt3?

That's Estoril blue, says so in the description too. It's quite similar to Mugello. Here's another Estoril blue but with alu:

.

The Audi Mystic blue seems darker, more purpley. They are both great, but I'd prefer the Mystic having seen in in person. Probably my favourite colour TBH.

Love the C6 going sideways chasing the C7 in the vid Riv posted. Haha

I've ordered Nogaro Blue - BUT A colour I have been in love with since a kid, which would look amazing on the RS6 I think is Ford Imperial Blue....

Can you get Audi to paint it that colour? I want an imperial blue car at some point.
