Default Color Opinions? S5 Cab

I am really close to ordering an S5 Cab, but I can't really nail down the color choices. Black S5 Cabs look good with almost all interior combos, but I don't want another black car. I also don't want white. I am leaning toward Ice Silver or Quartz Gray. I know it's hard to know without seeing the cars in person, but what do you think of these combos?

-Ice Silver with Black/Silver interior
-Ice Silver with Black/Red interior
-Quartz Gray with Black/Silver interior

BTW, I also don't want a black interior because it gets so hot in TX. My current black alcantara is fine, but that isn't offered in the S5 Cab.

Not sure what to do, and the longer I wait the further down the list I go! Thanks in advance for opinions, both good and bad!

Default What I ordered

I ordered a deep sea blue A5 cab. I was going to get the light gray seats until I checked out some of the other new cars on the lot with them. The light gray looked more whitish to me and not like the light gray I currently have in my A4 cab. I decided to go with black seats. Might look at the interiors of the other new cars on the lot.

I also ordered deep sea blue, but wanted the comfort seats. Only options were Tuscan Brown and Black. I went with the Tuscan Brown.

I would lean towards Quartz Gray. I guess you can say that I'm biased because I ordered Quartz Gray, but it really is a strong color for the A5/S5 or any Audi for that matter - IMO. I literally just returned from a short drive over to the dealer to look at current stock for A5s/S5s and there were three 2010 A6s in Quartz Gray under a pole light. The richness in the metallic flecks bring a refreshing and cool blue-ish hue to the car. I think it's sensational. It really brings out that swoopy belt-line crease and the crease running across the lower extremities of the door. I also prefer light interiors over dark ones, so for me the light gray interior is also very smart looking with this exterior color. If Quartz didn't exist as a color choice, hands down for me would have been Deep Sea Blue with Light Gray interior.
