i had decided on suzuka grey for the car, but i saw a few orange cars and i'm thinking the b5 would look pretty hot in orange. i like the lambo pearl orange as well, but it's almost a tad too dark when it's not under sunlight. i'm thinking of a lighter color orange, almost yellow but with more red...kinda like a ripe papaya, lol

what are some nice oranges, non-metallic or metallic or pearl?

also, can anyone ID these colors?

papaya orange i believe


and possibly imola red would look good!

or sprint bblue!! or rs4 grey daytona grey i believe

[sy0296]

all those oranges are the same papaya orange? (funny cause i used a papaya to describe the color i want, lol). i really dig the orange that's on the TT

[AofC_RR]

That's Solar Orange actually I think in all 3 pics. The R8 might be Papaya though. The TT-S and S3 were both offered in Solar Orange from the factory.

[Capt. Obvious]

Let me vicariously through you: paint it Aviator Grey.

TROPIC GREEN! or Hibiscus. It'd be pretty damn rare (probably the only tropic green) and hibiscus looks absolutely boss with a widebody.

[Peter1.8t]

I don't think you could go wrong with any of the colors you've chosen. I thought this is kind of a unique color, I know you wanted a lighter orange but I'll throw this out here.

Sort of like a burnt orange brown???

[sy0296]

grey was one of my choices, but i decided i wanted something brighter. although unique, i don't think i'll want to do a green though.

that burnt orange though...should be pretty interesting. anyone wanna photochop for me?

I like the grays and silvers. Very understated and classy. Just like the car. A wagon doesn't scream super car, neither should the paint. $.02

New fav color

[Capt. Obvious]

If you're going to do a red, I like the Amulet Red from B6 A4s.

[sy0296]

So it's decided...we're gonna try to mix a light pearl orange. Gonna try to match the color of the TT in my first post. Should have pain chips by next week!

[Fourplay]

I know you already picked, but Grigio Silverstone. Epic color is epic.

[Bimmerchop]

Weak... pearl orange has been done before.

[BENI_BOY]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

[nkbks4]

any color but orange...

2nd the no orange!!!!
Anything butt orange and yellow...

When I paint mine it will be the black olive pearl on the cayenne's...

[sy0296]

Let's see how it turns out. I'm gonna ask the shop to shoot one of the older fenders to see how it looks. The color I'm imagining is more like a pearl yellow with red in it...kinda like a ripe mango and no where near as orange as the one in that pic.

Not a fan of dark colors or greys or blues. My only other consideration would be Suzuka grey but I just placed an order for a SG A7 that's why I decided to go with this mango color

[crazyfasts4]

this is a hot color. it is from farrari's vintage color collection. it is called Grigio Scuro
