Dark Blue RS6

Post by SteGee » Mon Sep 26, 2016 6:54 pm

Hi - looking to get a new RS6 and have seen a couple of Dark blue ones which I think look really good. They've always been driving the other way so not had chance to get any photos.

Have any of you got any pics you could share to help me decide please and ideally which blue they are?

Thanks a lot

Steve

Like this one? I'm not sure which Blue this is - there way meant to be a unique blue for the RS6. I can't recall the name but I wonder if this is the one.

Take a look through this thread for some photos and colours but I don't recall any dark blue ones.

Is it the Performance edition blue (forgotten its proper name).

Ascari blue is it name.

The best blue colours I know by name is Mystic Blue and Sepang Blue and Estoril Blue.

Ara blue is lovely on the R8.

mystic would be my choice. It looks absolutely stunning in the metal.

I went with Moonlight Blue - its a standard Audi colour (albeit exclusive on the RS) which may put some off, but the car spent its first year parked on the street, so wanted something relatively understated. Just had the car detailed and I'm really happy with it.

I've seen a really nice deep, dark metallic blue RS6 before. It looked very classy.

Agreed, that's Estoril, which is no longer available.
