    Arrow Grey RS3

    I have an RS3 order pending and am trying to decide on color. I am seriously considering Arrow Grey although I have never seen it on an actual vehicle (my understanding is it has not been offered outside exclusive since the 2000 TT). Is this insane? Thoughts welcome.

    Imo, way too close to nardo. If you're going to pay 3900 for a color, it better pop. How about Bentley Apple Green?

    Its a cool color, but yeah, pretty close to Nardo... If I were doing exclusive it would be Nogaro, classic RS color, but then its somewhat close to Ara... Gonna look great regardless!

    Don't think Nogaro and Ara are really close at all. Non-metallics are where you want to be with a fun color and Ara is very metallic from my understanding.

    Yea, Nogaro is different than Ara...it looks a lot better in my opinion, probably my favourite Audi Color ever made.

    Thanks for the advice! Had similar concern that Arrow is too close to Nardo to be worth it.

    I was just about to go with Nardo, when all of a sudden Mocha Latte entered the picture. I do want something different, but not over the top. This might be it.

    Thoughts on whether the Mocha Latte works with the Black/Red interior? I think it does.

    I know this is an older thread, but wanted to reply because I have an Arrow Grey S5 Sportback and at one time (randomly) was parked right next to the same model in Nardo. In my opinion @bkkchris these two colors are very different. Arrow grey has a ton of variation in appearance based on setting, sky color, etc. it can go from looking almost white to a putty grey color. Nardo is darker and more brown.

    My point is that while both colors are great, they are more than slightly different. I think Arrow Grey is an all time Audi color and get comments on it often, even though mine is 6 years old now.

    Our 2019 Nardo Gray RS 3 still getting questions as to what color is it?
    Lots of nice coments and love our RS 3's performance fitted with 18
    inch wheels and tires, which replaced the factory 19 inch wheels.
    Now at 49,009 miles of which 35,139 miles have been fast back
    road runs as weather has permitted here in Virginia.

    A truly great automobile indeed and now at 84 years old I am still
    driving it 3 days a week on our favorite country back roads 10am
    to 2pm when few others are on these roads we run at this time of
    day, weather permitting. A great automobile indeed!

    My Photo Gallery shows our Audi RS 3.
