Default What color is this?

Any body know what color this is? I feel like the Navarra Blue is darker but don't see another blue listed on the order guide.

that colour is most likely ARA Blue that is new and on only a few cars. It is too light for Scuba blue

It's a shame this color is not available without paying the $3000 for the exclusive paint job. It is by far my favorite color.

Funny though, if you look at the website for the A5 Sportsback, this color is what the car changes to when you select Scuba Blue. So I am left wondering if by not going metallice, if it allows the color to be lighter than the A4 Scuba Blue Mettalic

ya, they really screw you around with the colours. Scuba is darker for sure, Navarra is closer to Scuba with a hint of purple, but the new ARA blue is this tone, its a crystal metallic, very cool, I had ordered a new S3 with the ARA blue but switched it to a new A5 SB in Daytona. Maybe the ARA comes with the RS5, who knows

I ordered an Ara Blue S3 3 months ago, and switched to the A5SB. It came into the dealer but never went to see it last week. A friend saw it an said it was stunning. I hope I made the right decision ! The S3 is 300hp but I much prefer the overall design of the A5 SB even at 252 hp.
