Default Yeah, they sprung for the full Audi Exclusive leather treatment...

and didn't have any money left for the custom paint so the surplus from the barn renovation was used. LOL...it is either classic red or black cherry Audi paint.

Hibiscus and Garnet red seem very similar.

Default It's darker, but I think exposures and lighting play a part here.

The special order TT colour looks to be closer to Andorra red which has a chestnut base, rather than pink/purple base.
