I have a phantom S5 on order but now I'm thinking to myself whether or not it is really worth the extra $750 over say brilliant black. On the day I ordered, dealer showed me both colors but on other cars (I think they were S4s) and I personally couldn't tell much of a difference granted the phantom was quite dirty...

Phantom and brilliant owners, what do you guys think???

I had the EXACT same issue. I then went to the dealership on a sunny Sunday afternoon, spent an hour there comparing the two colors. I could not for the life of me tell the difference unless I was about two inches from the car. I took about 10 high quality digital photos, and asked my wife to tell me which color was which, and she too could not tell the difference.

Called the next day and changed color to Brilliant Black!

Just another opinion!

Or so i was told by earlier discussions...

About the only other thing you could claim with the Phantom is the fact that it's very rare.

You also see less swirls and other things on phantom black than brilliant black.

Absolutely. It's very noticeable and a tad easier to maintain than BB

by a local detailer. My B6 S4 is BB and shows swirl marks easily.

Maybe I'll change to Ibis....

I can tell the difference between phantom and brilliant easily, even if its a car driving near me

You can also get it on the Q7. Heck, my buddy even has it on his A4

It's rare, but people have commented on the color, rather than just calling it 'black' they notice the pearl effect and seem to like it.

I would not change your order.
