Too much time on my hands
The problem begins with the fact that most Audi dealers don't carry a lot of inventory so it's tough to see various int/ext color combinations. Also, pictures on the internet don't always do justice to a color especially some of the interiors.
That said, I originally ordered a black A5 with light grey interior. Wanted the light beige but didn't want that light wood trim. 2 weeks later I get the bug to spend the $2500 on Daytona grey. After wrestling with that for a week I decided not to change. Then I started seeing more pictures of the Ibis white---maybe that's the way to go. Now with 3 weeks until my car arrives I see a quartz grey with Cinnamon Milano interior and am blown away. They had no cinnamon interiors at the dealership and most internet photos don't represent how deep and rich that color is. If I had to do it again I would order the Daytona Grey with Cinnamon Milano interior. Wish I were one of those guys that could just order a car and forget about it.

I had the same doubts and indecision while waiting for my A5 cabrio quattro - quartz with cinnamon interior. None of the salesmen had seen that combination, but I thought the brown interior would look good because of all the black trim, and it would be a classic European look. Then, as the weeks went by, I started getting cold feet: maybe I should have gone with my initial choice, quartz with red roof and black interior? Then what about aurum beige, etc. etc.? But when I finally saw the actual car, all my doubts went away. I'm sure it will be that way for you too - once you see the one you selected, you will love it.

I had no doubt in my mind that red with black was my choice. If Sprint Blue was available on the A5, I would have been very torn. I don't like dark colors because I hate a dirty car. Silver and gray bore me. I've driven white for years even though the car looks great in white. A brown top with cinnamon inside would have been sharp.
