I have Ibis white without black optic. Although black optic makes the car looks sportier, the standard window trim and grill aluminum finish are characteristic of RS-line cars. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish S5 with BO and RS5 with BO from afar.

Byer's Audi in Columbus, OH, has a RS5 in Daytona Gray w/the Black Optic Pkg. Here's the link to it from Cars.com: 2015 Audi RS 5 4.2, $81,245 - Cars.com. It really is very nice. Unfortunately, they don't show the carbon fiber engine cover. We opened the hood to see it, almost made me trade my S5 Cab for it

However, since you indicated you like the Ibis White, I too, would suggest the Suzuka Gray. Personally, I think Audi should have called it "Suzuka White" since it is a very pale, almost white, gray. Here are some pics just to give you an idea how light the color is: 2015 Audi RS 5 4.2, $78,820 - Cars.com

I saw one of them, again on Byer's showroom, last summer. I think the Suzuka Gray (white?) with the Black Optic Pkg would be quite a looker.

Daytona Gray is a very nice color, but, for me, it's just too common. Just to give you an idea of how many are now available: New Audi RS 5 - Coupe in 45750 Area - on Cars.com I guess you can say Daytona Gray is Audi's signature color.

If you're willing to buy a left over 2014, looking on Cars.com I see there is a Prism Silver available. 2014 Audi RS 5 4.2, $79,570 - Cars.com. The is a couple of shades darker than the Suzuka and is very nice in the sun. It really does shine nicely.

I do understand the dilemma in choosing a color. Whatever color you decide on, trust me, you will love the car!

Colors grab me emotionally. I know what I like. You probably do too. Visit Audi dealers in person to see colors. You'll know.

PS Don't get red. I like that red S5/RS5's are rare.

Nope - RS4 did come with Ti wheels if you wanted but I like silver - black rims if I wanted can be done by not washing the wheels

And second - I like to say thanks for your service too. I was AF 66-70

I have an Ibis White S4 and like it a lot so hard to argue against Ibis. I've been thinking about an RS5 and if I went for it I'd have to go red or Sepang blue - probably red. I prefer the rotor wheels that came with BO in MY14 over the flower petal style that comes with MY15. (I'll be 47 next week... maybe that's why I'm thinking about an RS5.)

no regrets at all, love the missano red with pearl effect. it really glows in sunlight and has a cool shine to it

I LOVE Sepang Blue, but if I were ordering an RS5 for myself it would be Daytona Gray. I'm biased. I had a Daytona Gray S5 Cab and loved the color.
