Havana Black or Red Garnet Pearl Effect
I had never seen a Garnet Red Pearl in person so when I went the dealer today lo and behold there was not one but two in the lot with each of them having different interiors of velvet beige and the gray.
As you can see from my sig I have already ordered the Havanna Black with the beige interior (which I want to keep that color) but seeing the Garnet Red Pearl really got me thinking.
I have not seen either color very often on the road but that garnet red has a deep color I enjoy without it being too "redish" for me. I assume the red will be easier to keep clean than the black but for those of you that have that garnet red I am looking for opinions if you are still in love with that color and is it easier to keep clean?
Your thoughts are appreciated.

As far as the Garnet Red Pearl Effect, yes I still love the color. Is it easier to keep clean vs. one of the black colors? I have no idea since I have not had a black colored car before. I know this isn't much help but at least I could answer your first question.

I love the garnet red. The dealership had an a7 garnet red with beige in the showroom, and every time I walked in, it wow'ed me. I kept saying that I'm not red car guy. But it's a deep red with varying shades. It is not a brilliant red which is most important. I also love the havanna/beige combo. But the contrast of the front grill and fascia looks amazing on a non-black car.
I was looking for aviator blue (which I also love). BUT every time someone posted pictures of their new A7, no matter the color, I loved it. So in the end, I got a great deal on the car after 1 week of ownership, I love it. But you'll love whatever color you get. The red won't be as hard to keep clean - but it's not an easy color to keep clean either (like white or silver).

But I love my phantom black pearl, especially on a S6. The contrast with the silver mirrors and bright trim is best, in my opinion.....

I have havana and it has been a joy (except that it is a bit tricky to keep clean). That being said, I've seen garnet in person and it is beautiful as well. You win either way.
