Default These colors are driving me crazy - please post pics of Grey/Blue/Red/Silver A3s

I didn't realize so many different shades of these colors existed over the years. Please take this opportunity to post photos of your car showing off one of these colors. Or even better photos with different shades of a color to be able to note the differences. Also, is my ordering of lightest-to-darkest correct?



<b><u>BLUE:</u></b>
Aruba Blue Pearl Effect - 2009
Sprint Blue Pearl Effect - 2008
Deep Sea Blue Pearl Effect - 2008
Ocean Blue Pearl Effect - 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009
Moro Blue Pearl Effect - 2006

Lightest &gt; Darkest?
Sprint &gt; Aruba &gt; Ocean &gt; Moro &gt; Deep


<b><u>GRAY:</u></b>
Meteor Gray Pearl Effect - 2009
Lava Gray Pearl Effect - 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009

Lightest &gt; Darkest?
Lava &gt; Meteor


<b><u>SILVER:</u></b>
Monza Silver Pearl Effect - 2009
Ice Silver Metallic - 2008, 2009
Light Silver Metallic - 2006, 2007

Lightest &gt; Darkest?
Light &gt; Ice


<b><u>RED:</u></b>

Thanks!

Default Lava is quite dark. It's also a got a bit of purple in it that can be easily seen if the A4 and S4

are side by side.
