Cheers all for the contributions so far, looks like Red/Blue are pretty much level, suprised that black is so low on votes; I have seen a nice looking one at worcester audi with black optics.

I actually like that, but then saw it was a Cat D :(

:idea: Got me thinking of buying any colour (as long as spec/ condition is good) and then wrap it any colour I like

Thinking of looking at these this weekend ..... http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2291562.htm nice low mileage and Black optics, also there is one at Worcester Audi the same black/ black optics, but 1k less but has 30k miles more....I was reading somewhere that the value is roughly 2k less/more per 10k. so there should be more of a gap between these two I would have thought. Its seems it has to be a bargain for a 22k mile example seeing as thats the same money lotsof 40k ones are going for. Strange how two audi approved can be aso far apart on pricing

Sprint blue gets my vote Steve, but then I'm biased...

My paintwork etc actually isn't in great condition (lots of light scuffs etc), but the SB still looks really eye-catching when the sun's shining. Hey, maybe I could volunteer my car for your next project once you've detailed your new one?! :lol:

i voted black... when clean it looks the best, if i was buying again I would go for Daytona, in my opinion its THE best colour on the RS4 especialy with black optics! I wouldn't own a red car out of principle and the blue is way too common ;)
RS3 8P 2013 Phantom Black with Ally Pack and Black Optics Grille | LED Interior and number plate lights - GONE :(
RS4 B7 2006 Phantom Black with Titan alloys and mirrors - GONE :(

I avoided black and silver because "every other car" on the road is in that colour, i applaud Audi for offering alternative exclusive colours like Sprint blue
