Default Color Pallet

It would be great if Audi had the colors of the e-Tron on metal swatches like Porsche does. I would love to assess the Siam beige before locking my order. Most of the colors can be seen on other vehicles, but the Siam and Antigua cannot. It would be great to compare under different lighting without having to get the dealer to find cars on the lot and move them around. For instance, comparing such swatches of Glacier White with Siam Beige would bring out some of the subtleties of the Siam.

I ordered a Galaxy Blue e-Tron. Audi sent me a Galaxy Blue swatch in the mail, interestingly enough. I think they are trying to keep the excitement level up.

Siam Beige with Brown interior looks very sharp.

My choice, and the detailed configurator says the brown seats get the black headliner.

I wasn’t a fan of Beige in person, it just didn’t pop.

Are you one of the fortunate people to have actually seen it in person? Was it in bright sunlight?

Yes, I saw it in person and in the sun. The event I was at had about 150 e-trons and it was either Galaxy Blue or Beige. The blue seemed a lot better in person than online. The others seemed to be a dull brown (duh beige) but it didn't stand out in a way I'd personally like.
