Daytona Gray or Moonlight Blue - discuss?
Pulling the trigger on a SQ5 in either Daytona Gray or Moonlight Blue with Rotor Gray interior. Have not seen one in the blue. Thoughts?

They're both beautiful: The blue is dusky and has gray in it. It would look great with the Rotor seats. Good luck and let us know what you chose!

We currently own a 2011 Q5 in Moonlight Blue. It's a beautiful color in full sun, but you should be aware that it reads as black in the shade. Rotor Gray will look great with it.

Have a 2018 Q5 with Midnight Blue. T looks brilliant in the daytime an quite dark, almost black in the shade or at night. I wasn't old on the color originally and now I really like it. Both colors are great choices. I know because I had the Daytona Grey on my previous Q5.

Just picked up my SQ5 in Daytona Grey last week to replace my Q5 which was also Daytona Grey. I'm fairly biased to the color, but saw a Midnight Blue Q5 that was being delivered and liked it as well. Tough decision. Make sure to look at paint samples in different lighting conditions before making up your mind.

If you have the time to wait, and a few thousand extra, the Audi Custom program that allows you to select a unique color is the way to go. Don't know if it's available on the Q5, but my wife got it on her 2016 TT roadster. Took six months to get here and, while I've forgot the exact wmount, in the high $3000 range. One of a kind.

f10 I faced something very similar. I was all set to get a Midnight Blue in the normal Q5 versus Manhatten Gray vs perhaps Green/Red. Comparable to the SQ5 of Midnight Blue vs Daytona Gray.
Anyway, after taking a stroll out back at the other cars that were Midnight Blue (which by the way is pretty much Black unless the light hits it just right) you could really see the dirt and stuff on those cars a lot more than the ones that were Gray. I do enjoy washing and keeping my car clean yet am a very low maintenance person, so I went with Manhatten Gray for primarily the low maintenance.
Dealership gave me a tougher time about the Green/Red and I did like how Manhatten Gray looked in the showroom and around the lot. Ultimately the choice is yours though.
