Hi there everyone,

New to the forum. I am in the process of ordering my first Audi, a 2012 S4, and was deciding between Monsoon Grey and Brilliant Black. Love the black, but am worried about the upkeep. So did a lot of research on Monsoon Grey and came up with this link:

https://www.audi-mediaservices.com/p...tlichkeit.html


The page clearly states this is Monsoon Grey, and I'm pretty sure it's the same as the original post.

This is the one I'm ordering!

If you don't have a garage, get any color other than BB.

I ordered an S5 cabriolet 2 days ago. I hope socfan12's pic is correct, as I downloaded a paint chip from an audi PDF document that showed monsoon grey as more of a deep sea green than a grey. However, I don't have a color-calibrated monitor, so it could be WAY OFF! However, socfan12's monsoon grey color is STELLAR!

Here is a link to that colour...

Can I have comments on whether on your monitor the color looks more greenish than greyish?

Thx!

Looks more greenish on my monitor(Dell w/Mac OS).

I heard somewhere that Monsoon Grey is a rename of Condor Grey....

Ya, it looks very green on my monitor. Several pages later, however, there is a sphere for the black on black upholstery with lighter stitching; and it is all green. So, I think there was a pallet-shift in this PDF, where grey pixels are translated to teal. So, probably the Q3 pics of Monsoon Grey (you can also google "monsungrau" to get a lot more hits) are likely much more accurate.
