And yes. A nightmare to keep clean. My VWs have beige interiors and my A6 had grey and dye transfer is a nightmare to remove. That's why I have black and brown in my cars now. A4 is nougat brown whereas the X3 and A7 are black.
Maybe it's just the LED lighting, but my new beige seats look to me slightly lighter/whiter than the ones in my 2006 A4 with beige interior.

There is a "Nougat Brown" that is darker--attached. Compare that to your own car and see if they appear the same.

The appearance of color samples varies on your monitor settings. My monitor is calibrated and I spot-check it frequently against color charts. I would say that on a calibrated monitor the samples in the Audi Build Wizard are pretty close.

Sometime soon I'll dig out a digital color check chart that can be used to see how your monitor reproduces what the computer sends it.

My car has nougat brown. It looks a bit darker in my car than on the screen. Cedar brown is lighter than nougat brown. That is also a good looking brown.

Post some pics of your interior. I have never seen tan with oak inlays. I'm sure it is sharp!
No offense taken. To each his or her own. My wood is walnut rather than oak (I don't know my woods) so my interior is the same as post 17 above. Works just fine for me.
