Ordering a 2014 A8, color suggestions?

I will be ordering a new A8 sometime this summer and I am having a hard time deciding between Phantom Black, Night Blue or Quartz Gray. I am even considering spending the extra money and ordering the Daytona Grey. Then I received this mailing from Audi (attached) with a color I have not seen before. Does anybody know which color this is?
Thanks.

Looks like Oolong to me.

Received the same postcard after buying mine reminding me about Audi service.

Hard to tell, since the photo looks to be airbrushed or color enhanced. Could be Oolong Grey which appears a greenish gray in shade, but shows khaki/tan hues in direct sunlight. Audi used a lot of Oolong Grey in their D4 promotional and reference materials early on. The pic below is Oolong in a showroom. It's very different in sunlit conditions.

I would guess Oolong too.

Monsoon Gray

Thanks for your responses, it definitely could be Oolong Gray, I'll have to look at it in person. I really like the 20" Cartesia wheels on the mailing.

I just saw this picture in the 2013 brochure, I guess it could be Monsoon Gray too. Very hard to tell on the pictures, and as you said, some of these colors change a lot in the sunlight.
