I had a ming blue car and that pic is no way the same colour as ming blue. Azure more likely.
M3 CSL - Silver Grey, a few options.

Had a similar problem at AMD on Saturday. I've been thinking for nearly a year now that my S3 was Ming blue, however I was informed on Saturday that it is in fact Azure Blue.

Same here Im getting confused because when I bought my late S3 I was told by the Audi garage that it was ming blue!
The same colour as the one shown.
I was looking at a new S4 in the same colour and a diffrent audi garage said that was ming blue.
Maybe I am wrong.

Ming Blue is a very dark metallic blue - almost navy blue. TurkS4's was Azure Blue and looked stunning. Difficult to describe but Azure is more bluey-grey metallic than denim, which is much bluer. There are quite a few Denim TTs around my area and it is very different from the Azure Blue.

What on earth is the metallic bluey-green colour though? Quite bright - not like the petrol blue colour on VWs?
