Default Original interior color?

Does anyone have pictures of what 4000's interior looked like out of the factory thats not in black in white? The seats of my car are shades of brown now but the back of the rear headrests are a pretty light blue that seems to have been immune to fading. that gets me wondering what the rest of the car used to look like back in its showroom days

i dont think Audi took any actuall colour photos of the interior. It beats the hell out of me why the didn't. Ive seen many company photos of these cars all around the net. all black and white exept for a few.

i have some ideas for you though. If the rear pullout armrest was not used frequently you can go back there and check out the fabric. my quatrz grey velour is noticably darker in there. There is many other places to check. just get down low under the dash.

I also have the brown upholstery and it faded to a light bluish color on the rear hearests as well. In fact I had removed the seat to redo the rear shelf but decided to toss it as the fabric was starting to fall apart. Now the windows are tinted so when I get a replacement seat I hopefully won't have that probelm again.

The sun really screws up Audi interiors on these cars.

the paint codes for the exterior of my parts 4000s are mahogany red metallic, and same with the interior. Only the interior on the parts car is now brown with green.
