Speaking of different colors, are we sure that the 2013 colors and 2012 colors are exactly the same. In other words, is it possible that, say, Moonlight blue for 2013 is going to be more bluish than the 2012 color? The reason I ask is because while searching for different colors, I have come across this:

It is from 2011, but it says the color is Havanna Black Metallic, but it looks totally black (like piano black). If this is correct, the Havanna Black in 2011 and the Havnna Black in 2012 are completely different colors. Or does it just look like that from certain camera angles?

I think it is the lighting that makes you see it as possible different colors. I am not the paint expert, but if AOA changes the color just a bit than I am rather certain it gets a new name. They don't ask for the color and year you want. So had I wanted my new car to be painted Ming Blue, that is all I had to tell them. Not Ming Blue from the 2004 production year.

I found the charts and technical drawings on NetCarShow.com and Auto-HD.com. There is another site that had pictures of every Audi color but I could not find it.

$2500 is cheap to paint a car a new color. It would cost a lot more and many of the parts would have to be removed. In my opinion, having a A6 painted a non-standard color by the factory is the best and least expensive way to go.

Yes it is the Estoril blue crystal effect (I believe). I have a few more from Car&Driver spy shots of the S6. The snow pictures are a S6 on a lake in Europe. They came from a automotive blog.
Many times they do not state what the color so I make an assumption.

Thanks. I have always wanted to find these and never could. All the images I have seen you post were right on netcarshow.com. I never was able to find much on Auto-hd.com. Your right as well on the price of the paint job. It is cheaper at the $2500 for a proper paint job, than a aftermarket job at a great painter. Like everyone says, when you spend this much money on a car, what is $2500 for a color that makes you smile everytime you get in the car to go to work so you can pay for that car (and paint in my case)

Does anyone know how much $2000 ($500 for metallic paint anyway) adds to a typical (if there is such a thing) lease? Just a general estimate. Thanks. I have never leased a car in the past, so I have no idea.

I found a link, directly from Audi, for all avaliable colors that can be ordered, including special Audi colors.

Speaking of special orders, can an interior (the seats) be ordered in a different style? Some years ago (I do not remember how long ago), I saw an Audi A8 with deep purple leather seats. It was such a nice interior. I loved it. Can it be ordered today?

I love this special color, Velvet Purple, but it is $6000. Hmmm....

I also love this color, Cherry Black Pearl, and it is only $2500! Hmmm....

It absolutely is a peronsal choice. I've been very happy with Moonlight Blue, for me it especially looks well matched to the 20" sport package wheels, which have some gray/titanium coloring along the edges.

While all those colors are very nice, in the final analysis, it is between Estoril Blue Crystal and Night Blue Pearl. I think I am going to go with Estoril Blue Crystal (the A7 color), but for some reason I do not see it in the order guide I have posted above.

Any ideas? It seems to be the current color...
