Default Picking an exterior color

I really like the Chestnut Brown interior with walnut trim. I have initially picked the Maya Brown as the exterior color, however I would like other opinions on the combination of Chestnut Brown interior with Black headliner and an exterior color. I can still change my order so....what would you pick?

My wife selected the Teak Brown Metallic exterior w/ the Pistachio Beige interior and Fine Grain Ash natural inlays (my selection). But I've always liked the Daytona Grey, which is only offered with the S-Line.

I really love my brown interior with Cuvee silver exterior.

I personally think the Chestnut Brown interior looks fantastic with the Scuba Blue exterior, but that may just be me.

Do you happen to have a picture of your Cuvee Silver Q5? The Audi renderings of the color are nothing like the actual color IMO. They all seem to have way too much gold in the pictures whereas in real life it's a nice silver metallic with just a hint of something that's picked up in certain light.

When we saw color chips online and in the brochure we didn't give it a second thought but saw it in person and liked the color.

I have the moonlight blue with Chestnut and Natural Ash inlays, I think it is a great combination and looks incredible. Although I will admit I think the same interior with the white looks a more rich
