Default Looking for input on Florett Silver

Hi everyone,

I posted this in the S5 forum and received zero responses, so I thought I would try here...

"First off, I owned an '09 A5, a '10 S5 Cab and an '11 S5 Cab. I traded the '11 S5 almost 3 years ago for a Lexus GS350 F Sport and have been quite satisfied. (I wanted something more practical.) However, I just miss the personal feel of a coupe and the looks of the S5. I'm currently considering a '15 S5 Coupe in Florett Silver/Black.

I saw Florett Silver in the showroom and it looked gorgeous. However, outside under overcast skies I'm not as sure about it. For anyone who has seen it (or especially a Florett Silver S5 Coupe), do you think the car will look good in that color? Does it have a lot of blue in it?

Many thanks in advance for the input!"

I think a couple of you ordered S4's in Florett Silver. Are you happy with the color?

I own a 2015 s4 Florett silver, I used to own a bmw 528 Titanium silver, the florett silver is more grey , I do not notice blue at all. In direct sun light it really pops. It is very metallic and picks up sun light, it looks so much different than when shaded. It is a welcome change from my 15 year old BMW. ICE silver not available this year is closer to what I had in the BMW. None of the other colors this year were to my liking. Just remember a grey tint when not in the sun, and dazzling in the sun. It does not show dirt like most of the other colors . I like it!
It probably will look nicer in the coupe. But just remember it has a split personality, grayish in overcast light and in your garage, sparkling silver in the sun light.I notice grey tinge not blue. Not a fan of black interior, the black with silver interior is very classy and rich looking, get the leather.

Have you tried the B8 A5/S5/RS5 forum at Audizine? You might get more responses there.

Thank you. I took delivery today. I love, love, love the color! We have had no sun here until today, so I really got to see it pop. You're right... there really isn't any blue but it has more depth than standard silver.

I saw a Florett Silver Audi yesterday in bright sunlight, it looked a little blue. In dimmer light, it may not look so blue. I like the Aviator blue, which actually looks a little green to me in bright sunlight, but it is seems a little dark.
