Colour help please!!!

Post by 25AJC » Tue Apr 07, 2015 9:05 am

Hi guys,
New to the forum, but really enjoy all the chat and advice given. I've just ordered a facelift RS6 in Mythos black, but am really unsure whether to get Panther black instead. Can anyone tell me the difference and what would be the better option.
Thanks for your help in advance!

Welcome and FON (see the rules section)

I've not seen much of Mythos Black but as you probably already know Mythos is metallic finish and Panther is a crystal finish. Panther gives off a purple fleck in direct sunlight, not sure about Mythos. Phantom Black used it give off a brownish colour in direct sunlight.

Out of the two I would have Panther. Do some google searches and see what comes up :beerchug:
2018 RS5 Nardo Grey with the good toys - Gone
2019 Mercedes E63s AMG - Broke down 3 times - got rid
2019 RS3 4 door - Gone
2020 RS6 Launch Edition - The right spec unlike factory orders - gone
2021 RSQ3 Sportback - Nardo Grey - gone
2022 RS Etron GT Carbon Vorsprung - Daytona Grey - gone
2023 RS6 Avant - Daytona Grey - Current

I went Panther Black with black wheels and I am chuffed to bits. As RSphantom says, there is a distinct purple glint to Panther - and there is gold in the metallic flecking, too. Might sound terrible but it looks beautiful in my opinion.

One thing to note, there are quite a few dealer showroom cars spec'ed up in Panther but I never saw a single Mythos car when I was looking at colour options. I always think that tells you something about the relative desirability of colours.
