OP, you should see both in person in different times of day. The first time I saw scuba was in bright light, and the color really popped. The second time I saw it, the weather was overcast and it looked totally different, much darker/richer. Third time was a little brighter, and looked totally different.

Here are some pics I took that give you a sense.

Good luck with your decision.

JBD, just kidding. To each his own.

I went with the Scuba blue and Chestnut sport interior. I get a LOT of compliments on the color. Especially looks great in the sun and shows the contours and creases.

I like the grays also, but you see them everywhere by comparison.

Exact same combo I have. I believe it's probably the most common combo with Scuba, at least from the people talking about theirs. I think that the Chestnut and Ash go perfect together, and brown goes with almost anything.

Not Daytona! Monsoon and some of the other lighter greys sure, but Daytona's really nice in person. Got to see an RS4 in Daytona a while back and that was something.

Thank you all for the opinions and links provided. As some of you mentioned, since too many grey vehicles out there, I ended up ordering the Scuba Blue. Can't wait!!

Awesome! There is such an ocean of white, grey, and silver in every parking lot.

Congrats! You really couldn't have gone wrong either way, as you could nitpick on either color (the base blue in the Scuba is the same color as my dad's Camry ). But both are fantastic choices.
