I really do not like Audi's ice Silver. It is to washed out for me (no disrespect to those who like it!). In order to be happy with my color choice I am considering opting for a custom color job. Is there an Audi silver that is a darker more lustrous silver?

Quartz Grey might be close but it seems less metallic and silverish then I would like. So basically is there a color on the Audi color list between Quartz Grey and Ice Silver? I see on the car builder for other models there is a monza silver, where does it fit in color wise with the others?. I do not trust the AudiUSA car builder to represent the colors very well, especially not things as subtle as shades of grey or silver. Can anyone advise me here?

I know that at least one poster here put up pics of his Quartz grey but it seemed like those pics were on a gloomy day and it was a bit hard to really see the color. It is quite possible I will not get clsoer to what I want then the Quartz grey but I would like to make sure.

You must not have seen my post. Check out the "Custom Q5" thread somewhere in the forum. Pictures of my special order Daytona Grey.

The Audi of America website is terrible at accurately representing colors.

I agree that Ice Silver is a pretty light shade. Quartz Gray is not too dark but it really isn't silver either.

Avus Silver is a very nice color that might suit your tastes. Of course you would have to pay $2500 for the privilege of getting it.

Yes I saw yours and it is very nice without doubt. The Daytona and the Meteor Grey are both very nice , but definately "Grey". Correct me if I am wrong but the Daytona is darker then the Quartz Grey I think I am trying to go the other direction. I am still aiming for a "Silver" but the Ice silver is to pale and washed out for my taste.

I called my dealer and they have some quartz grey on other models of Audis on the lot so I will go look at it and see if I like it well enough.

Wow do they paint it with actual molten silver?

I think this is problem not only AUDI but all car-build web sites.

They charge $2500 for any nonstandard color as part of the Audi Exclusive program.
