Default Gotland Green Metallic Pictures

I realize these are pretty overexposed photos, but it was the easiest way to get the most true to life color of the car. This is pretty much exactly what it looks like in person. It's a unique color, but I really like it a lot.

Dealer showroom lights can very significantly alter the appearance of a car's colour. From those photos, Gotland looks a lot of Porsche's malachite green. But in the wild, the two greens may be different from each other.

Someone posted a youtube clip of Gotland, and it looked darker/deeper (towards forest green) than the pics you posted.

Although it's an interesting colour, Audi will likely not sell tons of them. Depending on your perspective, that could be good, or bad.

Here's one more picture of it, where it looks darker, but look at the Scuba Blue A3 behind it in my first picture versus the color of it in this picture. The pictures in my first post are the most accurate representation IMO.

How hard is it to repair metallic paints?

Thanks for the pictures. It is quite similar to BMW's now discarded Tasman Green. I am debating between Gotland Green and Tango Red for my new Audi A4 which I will order on September 5.

BMW's Tasman green was a wonderful colour.

Do you not think the two greens (Gotland and Tasman) are similar? Attached are two pictures of a Tasman Green BMW

It's really impossible to tell when looking at a computer screen; you'd really have to seem them in the flesh.

Here are lots of pics of Tasman.

Showroom lights present an entirely different colour than daylight, in or out of the sun.

Hope these help.

Gotland is a great green color. It is a nice green without being a British racing green, and it has a slightly gray tint in it.
