Default How dark is moro really? Ebony inside nice?

I did some searches and found some Moro blues look very very dark and some look a bit lighter. The paint swatch in the 2005 S4 brochure is *very* dark - basically looks black.

I know light will do a lot of tricks with the pearl effect paint, but can you guys give me a better idea how blue (or how moro haha) Moro Blue is? Some pictures would be GRAND (2005 S4)!

I am asking because my first choice was Nogaro w/black interior and the only unsold one in the queue was sold before my dealer could grab it. He found a Moro blue with ebony interior configured identically and that sounds pretty sweet. But of course I'd like to see it first...

You guys have been very helpful to me in my search and I am looking forward to joining the community of S4 owners!!

Thanks in advance

Default Unfortunately, pictures will not do the color justice. Get down to your nearest Audi dealer

and check it out. BTW the black leather interior is the best! Especially with wood!

Default Had to choose.... I wanted Moro blue..but chose black

Looked at a Moro blue and liked it, however the ebony interior somehow contrasted. I looked at it beside the black and thought the black with ebony looked better. The blue is fairly dark...\
good luck!! Cant go wrong with either..

Default It's DARK............

VERY dark! Once the sun goes down you can't tell the difference, but it looks entirely different in direct sunlight. Was at my local dealer yesterday (Georgia). They only had one '04 left, Moro w/ ebony 6speed. Let me know if you want a name and number. It might be cheaper to go get one yourself rather than have your dealer do it.

Default How dark is too dark? And if it's too dark, what color will you get?

You can see that Moro is blue in the day. Looks black at night.

Default That's my combo...

and I like it. Yes, as others have said, the Moro is dark. At night, it looks more black than anything. On a sunny day, though, there's a nice metallic glow.

One person mentioned the contrast between the Moro and the Ebony interior... I don't think it looks bad (after all, black is as neutral as white).

Go to the dealer and look at it. Moro is also available on the A4, so there's a better chance of finding one on the lot. I never did get to see it in the sunlight until I picked mine up... made me warm & fuzzy!!
