Having not seen a Santorin blue-colored car, what is the difference between that and the Europa Blue on my 96? Is there any? It looks like the Santorin is a lighter blue......

Santorin's a rich, iridescent blue. Depending on the light, it does look a bit lighter than Europa. But the big difference, IMO, is the iridescence.

The Europa Blue looks to have a bit more red in it.

<br>The Santorin is elegant and the Europa is sporty or perhaps loud.<br>

I think the exact opposite...although they're both pretty nice

I have a Santorin, my friend has an Europa. He happens to be visiting so I will shoot another one later today.<p>- Stan<br>

Looks like the car on the right has 98+ taillights, so I'd guess that that is the Santorin Blue and the other one is Europa blue (looks black on my monitor).<p>Make sure you take your pictures with both cars under equal lighting, preferably well-lit.<br>

Europa more purple, Santorin more 'bright'

From my own comparisons, the Santorin (which I have and love) reflects color differently depending on sunlight angle. Kind of a cheesy sentance, but basically at different angles it will look brighter or darker or maybe even have an ever so slight purple tint. The color is fantastic. When I ordered my 98.5, I ordered it blind because Audi was changing from Europa to Santorin. When I saw the car, I knew I had made the right choice.<p>Every time, while I'm wasing my car, people come by and compliment the color more than the car itself. It just grabs your eyes and won't let go.<p>Hope this wasn't to mushy :-)<br>Amro
