Thinking of going for this colour - thoughts?

So, after owning an exclusive colour C6 RS6, I am thinking about continuing the trend with the next car, as it’s nice to have something different. I’ve always liked the flat, non metallic colours, especially the primer or putty greys. I’m not so keen on Nardo, as it’s too light for me, so was considering Grigio Telesto which you see on Ferraris and Lambos. But then I found another Ferrari colour, which I like more - it’s Grigio Medio, and looks different depending on the light. Here’s an M4 in this colour:

What do you guys think about this on an RS6? Apparently it’s never been ordered in this colour before, although G. Telesto has.

Thoughts?

Very nice, I like nardo a lot but that's a good compromise.
Would look amazing with black / carbon pack

Thanks - those posts mention Grigio Telesto, however the colour I'm thinking of is Grigio Medio (Medium Grey). Medio is lighter and has a hint or green/blue to it, very unusual. Here's what they look like side by side in sunlight:

I like it, and mine is Nardo also love the solid greys. Get Nardo, you will have it about 10 months sooner!

They are both nice. Think I prefer left.
Can't go wrong

Evening Gents, I've lurked around this forum for years but recently picked up my first RS6 and think this post is a worthy place to say hello. Here is Nimbus with black optic and carbon fiber.

Lighting is crap in most of the pics but you get the point. I'll get more in the sun soon and post.

Very nice Plumsmuggler! Daytona and Nardo are nice but Nimbus looks that bit different.
