The colors should have a reason. A rationale. Previous scheme paid homage to traditional...
...silver/red Audi factory racing colors, as below (second row, outside and front row, inside).

I reiterate that if "brown" was a candidate, why not incorporate the other distinctive Audi racing colors from the '80's/'90's paint scheme (front row, outside)?
When there is a rationale for the site's chosen color scheme--beyond "Well, April likes turquoise and brown"-- which is tied to the traditions of the Audi brand, I think you're on much more solid ground.
One man's opinion.

Meh, it's ugly with the red menus. I don't particularly mind the various browns,
but I don't think it really fits with AudiWorld's image. I wouldn't go so far as to say it's kicking the brand recognition in the nuts, but there is something to be said about retaining some standard colors along with the logo, etc. I just don't see why the change is necessary. You can update the look and feel of the site while still retaining more of a connection to prior versions. Color scheme is typically a pretty important component of that.
