It's strange which colors prove popular, or otherwise.

The latest 'must have' colour' in the Audi range is called Nardo grey. I think it looks the spitting image of grey primer. All my cars had patches of grey primer  back in the day. :)

Yes! Me too. My other half loves it, however..

I think we have a whole generation that can't remember grey primer. As a boy grey cars were everywhere, usually in the form of the Austin A30/35.

VAG have some horrific colours in their current lineup...

That dark bronzy purple pearlescent is going to look the dog's goolies in some lights and complete toilet* in others, but it isn't russet, which is a far more traditional '70s colour :D

I think the ML looks a bit off because it looks like they chopped the back of the GL... shared platform from the C pillar forwards. (of course I may have that backwards in that the ML was designed and the GL had a shed bolted on the back ::))

Good choice though 8) Still made in Tuscaloosa?

*A layer of British winter and it will look like a mouldy aubergine. Keep it shiny ;)

They also have a super green (Skoda CitiGO/VW Up), Kiwi Green, that is in the running for a Cobra colour..

We had one in teardown before xmas and benchmarked it against the Disco, the general consensus was its pretty well screwed together (I assume the UK ones are not built in the far east) and that both it and the Disco looked shit from the rear  ;D :y

You really should paint that Citrine Yellow* or Sublime Green :D

*This looked a lot more fluorescent on the example in the showroom at Grays of Guildford when I did my work experience there in '94 aka when Tunnie was in training pants... ::)

The Cobra should be finished in an appropriately satanic colour. It should be Lucifer Black, just like GTM 777F.

Kiwi Green has a touch of the 'nancy boy' about it and will make people think there is a 60 BHP 1.3 litre OHV lump under the bonnet. :)

I'm with MigV6 on this in as much as I can't offhand think of a modern car that I like the look of/would buy.Having said that if it's what you want/need from a vehicle then fair play to you and I hope it serves you well. :y

Ages ago on Top Gear, Clarkson showed Audi's colour chart.  It was all a variation on silver/grey
