Colour is a personal thing... and all I have seen on the RS4 look stunning. Blue looks nice so does Mugello so I think you may be on your own with this......I too like black :biggrin2: :bigwave:

Of all the ones I have seen on the road so far black has got my juices flowing the most (havent seen a white one yet though :wink:)

Yes blk is a bitch to keep clean but when you do get round to washing it, its almost like you are getting a brand new car back for your effots as they come up soooo well...
Too much is bad.
Plenty is better.

Black is my favourite but after owning black cars previously, I just can't be bothered to keep cleaning them every 2 days. Hence, my new black is now grey...which looks awesome.

Sprint blue is better than mugello which looks rather dull in my opinion. The mugello blue will have worse resale value too as it isn't a popular colour (or so I'm told).

If it wasn't my money and I therefore wasn’t concerned about resale, I’d go for white with the dark (graphite / anthracite?) wheels. That’d stand out from the crowd, for the right reasons IMHO.

I got my black with optics detailed when I got it, yes it gets dirty but it is now very easy to clean.

2nd choice for me was daytona

not a fan of sprint at all but seems popular on RS4, but I'd prefer mugello

Got black which looks great, but I think Mugello looks classy and suits the RS4

Mugello for me - looks more understated ( if thats what you're after ).

Black does look lovely though.....

I am going to be a saddo and say white. The car looks mighty aggressive in white and white has certainly made a come back in recent times.

I owned a white (b5) 2.8 Quattro before this and in-between the occasional "sperm coloured" comment I received many compliments on the colour. All of this is coming from someone who owns a bright yellow S4 may be meaningless :)

The images below speak for themselves...

The only problem with white is that you'll be crucified come trade in even though it is the in colour dealers wont recognise this.
