Default Purchasing a new 2007 A4 2.0T, which color should I get?

I am currently thinking of Quartz, I used to own a Dolphin grey B6 3.0 and love the color, but want a new one. One more question what is the different between, brillant black and Phantom black?

You know it's the best color.

Kelley Blue Book (kbb.com) Advice section has an article titled "Best color to buy". Silver seems to have good residual value.

Default 1: Quartz, 2: Dolphin, 3: Black, 4: White, because......

1: Quartz. Because it's a relatively new color for the A4 in the US (minus the A4 Avant). It's as attractive as Dolphin but is less common. It combines the advantages of silver (shows off the car's design with some modesty) and Dolphin (a beautiful color), but is less common than either.

2: Dolphin. Just a beautiful color, but has been seen quite a bit on A4's now.

3: Black. Cool. Silver accents (grill, window trim) look great. However much of the car's body lines get lost, especially if you opt for S-Line. Looks dirty faster than any other color.

4: White. Audi's just look great in that color. Titanium package contrasts really well with white as well.

I'd put Silver towards the bottom. Although it's a very handsome and modest color, it's also the most common car color in North America. I had two silver Audi's and got tired of the color pretty quickly. Silver trim gets lost on the silver color, but the Titanium trim will look great.
