Default Ming Blue, Nemo Blue, Brilliant Black, or Cashmere Gray??

I'm planning to buy an Audi A6 4.2, but not sure about the color...I'm looking at either Ming Blue, Nemo Blue, Brilliant Black, or Cashmere Gray. But I need to see more actual photos of Ming Blue or Nemo Blue. Does anyone have photos of either color, in different lighting, maybe? Thanks (e-mail me at jambaj0e@dotplanet.com with those photos, please) Thanks for your help =)<p>Loyal Follower of Audism<ul><li><a href="http://jambaj0e@dotplanet.com">My e-mail link</a></li></ul>

Ming Blue is the fastest color. And as April says, put stickers on it and WOW!

Default If you're getting a 4.2, go for the Nemo Blue

It's exclusive to the 4.2 (for now, at least) so you won't see many. The Ming Blue and Cashmere Gray are both beautiful colors, though, and you wouldn't go wrong with either. As for the black, I think you either like it or you don't. Besides all of the "it's impossible to keep clean" stuff, some folks like its sinister look while others miss the complete absence of color. It's just a personal choice.

Once you pick your exterior color, you have to decide on your interior color and "Atmosphere". Your choices are Tungsten Gray (Advance), Satin Black (Ambition), and Melange (Ambiente). In addition, with the Nemo Blue only you can opt for the high-contrast Vanilla/Satin Black or Vanilla/Royal Blue two-tone interiors (both Ambiente).

Personally, I'd get the Nemo Blue with Tungsten Gray. I have the Tungsten Gray in my Racing Green 2.8Q and love it. It's not as dark (or as hot) as the Satin Black, and as such shows off the Burled Walnut more than the black. Although I really like the lighter-colored Amber wood trim in the Ambiente atmosphere, I just can't get myself to like the Melange (beige) interior. (Actually, it's a good-looking color; it seems like EVERYONE has it, though, so there's not much exclusivity.) As for the Ambiente 2-tones, they're a bit loud for my taste. Check them out, though, if you haven't already. You might like them.

Good luck!<p>mpuzach
