    Question Moro or Ming?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    I have a 2004 A4 1.8t, its dark blue, and for a while now I've been trying to figure out the exact color it is. After a while of searching I was convinced that it's Ming Blue Pearl. Then I saw some pics of Moro A4's which look very similar to mine, so now I'm confused once again. I know it's pearl, due to the shimmering in the color and the look of specs inside the paint, now which pearl? If anybody can inform me of the ways of telling between the different, yet similar, colors, and the exact differences between them, it would be extremely appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    Look for the paint code on the paper label located in the spare tire wheel well. I don't see the Ming listed for a 2004 A4. Clicky click Key in your information for the color chart with codes.

    LZ5J/P7 is Moro Blue
    LZ5L/Q5 is Ming blue

    Thanks! The people at the dealership I bought the car from said that it was "Midnight Blue", but i quickly realized that was incorrect after joining this site. F*cking car salesmen! haha

    In that case I think it's Ming then, but I'll look on the paper label to be positive, thanks!

    Yeah, he's wrong. It was Moro that was the limited edition color, not Ming.

    Re: Moro or Ming?

    ^^ Correct, that is a Moro, exactly like mine. The car in that photo is a 2002 if that is the car in the signature. Moro's were a limmited edition color run from 2002-2003.

    The OP has an 04, therefor is a Ming...Not a Moro.

    Everyone knows the Moros were faster too...

    wow... Reading comprehension FTL

    If Moro was a limited edition color why is it available in 2003,2004,2005?

    I guarantee you Ming was only available in 2002 and 2003

    Re: Moro or Ming?

    To the OP: Moro is more like navy, with a hint of red in the pearl if you look closely in the daylight.

    Ming is brighter, more akin to Nogaro.
