Default Scuba Blue? Any Pics?

Can't seem to find any pictures of the new allroad in scuba blue. I'm sure my floret silver order will be accepted shortly so I wanted to see scuba blue to rule it out before that happens. Has anyone seen pictures they could post?

It looks good in scuba. Not a fan of the gray cladding with the blue though. Also not a fan of having to pay and additional $1k to have the cladding painted body color.

That was not Scuba Blue. I saw it at the NY Auto Show. It was brighter, with a white interior (if my memory serves me correctly), and the combination made it look garish. Scuba Blue is way nicer.

I would think the OP could answer his original question whether he would like the allroad in blue from those pictures whether it is scuba or whatever.

Wish I could, I'm not a fan of that blue from the car show pictures. I think scuba is darker and would look good but I haven't been able to find any examples to see the color on the car. I'm sure there will be some soon as there are some listed on inventory at some dealers, just no pics yet.

You might have better luck finding an A4 in Scuba Blue?

I've seen scuba blue on an a4 and a3 but I need to see the color on an allroad with the cladding and all to see how it looks. It's hard to picture.

This is the B8 but at least shows the color in relation to the grey wheel cladding. One thing I noticed is that the wheel cladding looks very light with dark paint colors, and very dark with light colors (the exception being Monsoon which is pretty close to the cladding color). The actual look is very different than Audi's build tool shows. I wish Audi used two shades of the cladding so the contrast wouldn't be so great.
