Aruba blue is close. Deep sea blue is very dark though and Topaz blue is a bit grey. Only one green with Deep Green. I guess that is to give a British Racing Green equivalent. It is also very dark though. Dont recall seeing a Deep Green on the road.

Cambridge Green Pearl effect was a beautiful color.
It was especially beautiful in the C5 A6 body.
But according to actual previous sales figures, I was seemingly the only consumer to think so.
Green is a very unpopular color in the retail market.
And it's the kiss of death in the used market.

I pick up my very boring Quartz Grey S-Line on Friday. I am sure I will hate it every single minute of the day.

Royal Blue is basically dark blue and that's covered with the Deep Sea Blue.

Goodwood Green was the last green offered (was on the B6). Basically, greens are no longer popular and that's why Audi, Lexus, Infiniti, Toyota, Mercedes, and BMW have stopped offering such colors.

Not to keep beating a dead horse, but the audiusa.com 'build your audi' site gives this for S5 colors:
Brilliant Black
Brilliant Red
Ibis White
Ice Silver Metallic
Quartz Gray Metallic
Deep Sea Blue Pearl Effect
Meteor Gray Pearl Effect
Phantom Black Pearl Effect
Sprint Blue, Pearl Effect
For the A5, it looks like you get different results whether you use the configurator on the right (11 colors) or the configurator at the top (9 colors with Monza and Misano missing).

Sepang blue is the closest shade of blue to royal blue that Audi has but its an exclusive color, $2500 if I remembered correctly. But of course you can special order the colors if you want and are capable. But I do agree they need a royal blue color in the A5 or S5 range.
