Default Final Poll tally: (errors corrected, I hope)

Much to everyone's surprise the winner is SILVER!!!

Silver 35.2% (silver/silver #16, silver/black #14, silver/blue #2, silver/? #12)
Ming Blue 15.2%
Brilliant Black 12.8%
Cashmere 8.0%
Ebony Black 5.6%
Nemo Blue 4.8%
Melange 4.0%
Racing Green 3.2%
Tornado Red 2.4%
Pearl White 2.4%
Andorra Red 1.6%
Volcano Black 1.6%
Casablanca White 1.6%
Santorin Blue 0.8%
Jaspis Green 0.8%
Emerald Green 100% of previous generation A6
Oxforn Green 100% of BMW 5-series

Also surprising, California topped the list:
CA 30.4%
New Jersey 8.8%
Texas 8.0%
WA 5.6%
NY 4.8%
Chicago 4.8%
MN, CO 4.0%
PA 3.2%
"Foreigners" 3.2% + Chuck
Elsewhere in U.S. 27.2%

More surprises:

2.7T 60.0%
4.2 22.4%
2.8 13.6%
2.8 Av 2.4%
2.7T Av 0.8%
S6 0.8%

The most common color combo was silver/tungsten (12.8%), but 9.6% were silver with an unknown interior color, so the percentage is likely significantly higher. Silver/black was 11.2%.
The least common color combos were:
Jaspis/anything 1/125
Santorin/anything 1/125
Tornado/Melange 1/125

There were other combos with only one, but there were others of the same exterior color that did not report an interior color.

That's it, I wash my hands of it...I just hope my spelling was OK.

Default Do we really need THREE variants of black????

I would much rather have additional "colors" to choose from... like that copper color you can get on Volvo's

Default Ebony Is....

More of a very dark charcoal. My wife drives an all Black XL Denali, much like the BBlack on the Audi and the two colors are noticably different. Also gives you a metel flake w/blues, greens and purples in bright sunlight, when you look real close. Very beautiful color. Was considering Ming Blue, when I ran across this color on an S8 at the dealership, half in the sun and half in the shade. Was pleasently surprised, IMO.

Default Not to worry. They didin't include my emerald green on the list. What's up with that?

3 different blacks but what, was my emerald green (the best green Audi ever made, FYI!) thrown in with that tacky racing green stuff? =)
