Default Florett Silver and Flint Grey

Looking to order a 2016 A6 Prestige with driver assist and cold weather package. The only car in that's available with specs I want is Florett Silver with Flint Grey interior. Not my first choice (that would be tornado grey, w/ black and standard headliner) but think I could live with it and grow to love it. I could do custom order but really don't want to wait 2-3 months for the car.


What are opinions on this combo? Anyone have it or have any pics they could share?
thanks

You really need to see colors in person. While the exact color combo may not be on the lot, there ought to be cars (not necessarily the A6) with the grey interior and silver exterior, if not on the same vehicle. For the amount that you are spending, get what you really want; it will be worth your wait. I waited months for my quartz grey w/nougat interior A6 TDI and, glad that I did.

Florett Silver is awesome, if you ask me and was my first choice of the colors offered as standard selections. Its a has a richer deeper metallic sheen to it with slightly slightly bluer tinge to he silver ... anyway see for yourself in these photos from a San Diego dealers shot of a Florett Silver with all back interior with Sports pack and the same 20" wheel I ordered but without the Drivers assist pack as noted by the lack of radar domes in the two killer looking and bolder lower air intakes that come with the S-line Sports pack look.

I have always found Audi's grey interiors a bit faded or tired looking. To me Black is best, partly because it is not really a dark/stark black, but more of a dark grey. The Florett looks great in these photos.

you guys are right, I need to go black. Don't really like the grey but did not want to wait but ordering what I really want is the right thing to do. Thanks for helping me decide.
Now if I could talk my wife into a black headliner (she things it feels claustrophobic with it all black).

Any votes/opinions on the tornado vs. oolong vs. florett greys?

Oolong is great, but its almost brown cast is much different from Tornado and Florett, both of which are lighter and have a silver/blue tone to my eye. I cannot really say that any one of the 3 choices looks better.
I had 3 Audi's since 2005 with the lighter headliner and with my 2013 A6 I got one with the black headliner. Now I would never want anything but the black. To me it makes the feeling of the interior so much more upscale and does not really make it seem darker. There are points where the door panels abut the headliner on the posts/columns and the transitions appear more seamless with the black headliner - classier. Of course, that is only my opinion.
