Default NOOB color question on RS5 Order

Ok, I know this is annoying but I need advice. I have done a lot of forum and internet searching first.

I plan to order an RS5. Dealer says he can get me what I want if I don't mind waiting (I don't).

Must have the titanium package. Most likely will get black interior. I want a classy but stealth look. Can't decide between:

1) Daytona Grey Pearl
2) Phantom Black Pearl;
3) Panther Black Crystal.

My wife has Phantom Black on her 2013 A7 and it would be nice to have something different, but it's not critical if it's the best choice.

I'd like the Panther Black if it will be more "rare." But, I've only been able to see photos of it, not a real live car, and it's hard to tell from photos. But, I'm afraid it may be a little to sparkly for the stealth look with the titanium package.

Any advice, suggestions, input or votes?

Thanks in advance!

Panther Black Crystal wins out of those three choices.
Grey, I'd personally go for Oolong Grey Metallic or Suzuka.
White would have to be Glacier White Metallic.
Blue would be Sepang hands down.

Agree with the previous poster, Panther Black is the first choice. Followed by either Daytona or Suzuka. Both would be low-profile.

If you want to be daring, go with Sepang. IMO, best color for the RS5.

There is a post on AZ who has a Panther Black. Yes, picture only but it could give you a good feel for the color in different lights. It is rare color. Therefore finding one could be very difficult.
