Default Exclusive or special colors?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/57970/04.jpg"></center><p>
can anyone provide me with more information,color samples or any links on what Audi's German and/or UK websites are offering when they list
"audi exclusive" or "special colors"
I have been waiting to see if audi will offer the color shown in this picture
UK specs list "special colors" and my guess from the list would be papaya orange.

If you go to the configurator on those web-site I think the colours are now there. Certainly they are somewhere on audi.de. They have a 'details link which somewhere has all the colours.

The Audi exclusive colours are not listed and may be just that (i.e. more or less custom). The Audi 'Special' Colours for the Cab are as follows:

Berry pearl
Sprint blue
Silver violet
Lilac pearl
Venetian violet
Murano green
Black cherry
Papaya orange
Citrus yellow
Almond beige

The paper sample of papaya organge I have is a brghter orange than your pic suggests but it is certainly closest.

Your 'paper sample' is most likely showing the Mango color.

when you say mango did you mean Papaya?
hashluck aparently has a paper sample of the special colors
and mango is not a listed as a special color choice.

Default Well...

this has turned out to be a debate. The TT has a mango and their new V6 was shown in it on autogallery.com - same color in all the press shots. However, we've not been able to get a paint code yet for it. The color you show is definitely Papaya... another, more yellow-y color that I *thought* you were talking about as your 'paper sample' soiunds like this 'mango'.

Nothing to give you anything concrete though...

I have checked both Audi.de and audi.uk websites and still have not found any mention or samples of "special colors"(specifically Papaya Orange) has anyone seen official information on these colors anywhere and can you provide me with a link?
I did however find this new picture from the paris auto show 2002?
obviously this car is the prototype used for the initial press release and auto shows
which has the specific color I would like to locate.

The colour you have are looking for is Papaya Orange, it is available from Audi's Exclusive Programme. I have asked my local dealer and you can hav it as an option for £1500.00!!!

AudiQuattroCabMan,Thank you very much for your help!
I am still a bit confused as the original post by Hashluck noted the Papaya Orange as a "special" color as opposed to an Audi "exclusive" color.
did you mean to say the option is available as "special" rather than "exclusive"
I now understand "exclusive" to be an option of having your Audi painted in any(custom) color you choose.
whereas "special" colors are a few select colors from Audi and would be available for a limited time.
would I be right in saying that the "exclusive"(custom) option would cost more than the "special" color option?
