Which Colour?

Great site- a lot of the forum discussions really helped me with the spec for my new RS6. I placed an order for my first RS6 a few weeks back (I requested September delivery)
Spec:
21" Titanium Wheels
Sports Exhaust
Red Callipers
Air Suspension (not going to use on a track)
Dynamic Steering
LED Headlights
Piano Black Inlays (Carbon not my thing)
Rear Side Airbags
Heated Rear Seats
Privacy Glass
ACC (inc. Pre-sense Plus, Side Assist, Lane assit etc)
Audi Connect
Top View (to protect those alloys!)
The dealer had made me aware of what I though were all of the changes for 2015- except for the addition of Sepang Blue! At the time I opted for Daytona Pearl- safe bet(?) Trouble is while at Audi yesterday, with my wife's Q5, I saw a S3 in Sepang Blue. It was absolutely stunning in both direct sunlight (a rare event in Scotland!) and in the workshop. Having trouble finding any good pictures of a RS6 C7 in Sepang that haven't been pushed to emphasise the blue hue. Anyone on here have "natural" pics of a C7 in Sepang they could share?
Would you go for Sepang or Daytona Pearl? (Carbon or Alu packs are not to my taste)
Cheers!

The only pictures I've seen of a Sepang Blue one were from Stafford Audi as they had one up for sale when it was an exclusive colour. I nicked these, sorry borrowed these off their Facebook page
That one has got the carbon pack though, which if I was getting that colour would definitely want as well as the carbon mirrors but would not want to pay the price for it

Thanks for the pictures. Looks great, colour really does pop! Still don't know if I'd tire of Sepang after a while. Agree about the carbon cost, although the carbon look takes me back to some "boy racer" cars in the late 80s/early 90s who stuck fake carbon bits on for a tenner a go (I am a bit of a dinosaur I know!). Daytona Pearl is such a classic colour probably the easiest to live with long term I guess.

I love Sepang don't get me wrong could just be pictures not doing it any justice etc. But I personally think the C6 suited Sepang much better. And as for Daytona grey it is such a classy colour mean aggressive and not too in your face if that's what your after then Daytona Grey is the one.

I prefer Sepang on the C7, there's more interest in the bodywork. It was just a bit much for me on the C6.
Agree you can't go wrong with Daytona. I didn't want a second grey car and I do like a bit of blue.

I went to see the Sepang at Stafford Audi and came away fairly convinced that it wouldn't wear me down (I was worried it would be too brashy). My ideal had been Estoril. The other colour that I think you might consider is Panther Black. Again, I went to see one in the flesh (Walton Audi) and, having seen both, I would have the Panther Black over Sepang. You can have the Alloy trim on the Panther but I think the Sepang needs the black trim of the Carbon pack to work.
Panther black is substantially more interesting (I think) than Phantom. Panther is a Crystal colour with hints of purple and gold. Sounds terrible but I thought it looked fantastic. It has a bit of the Q Car in it in that at first glance it just looks black but as you walk around it in the sun the colour dances with different hues.

I kind of agree with the above, my second choice was Panther Black with Matt Alu pack and black gloss wheels. The only thing that put me off after owning several black cars is what a complete pain in the arse it is to keep clean. Now Daytona Grey on the other hand, simple's

Doodlebug u said it all mate Sepang it has to be for you. And that pic at the bottom I could be mistaken but I'm sure that's not Sepang although maybe simila. What I asked and researched it was sprint Blau pearlescent and individual colour.
