Anyone have pics of deep sea blue?
 
Not sure what this color looks like in real life. Anyone have pics or know of a color thread I can look at? TIA.

Doing a quick forum search, these were the first pics I came across. You might have better luck just Googling it to get better pictures. :)

I'm not a fan. It looks better on the Audi web page than it does in person, IMO. Too dark. Too conservative, especially with tan leather.

That said, it's popular. I just don't think it's sporty enough for a performance vehicle like the Q5. I could see it on something like a 7 series, but for a smaller vehicle, I would prefer a brighter blue.

Thanks! That gives me a better idea. When you google it there are so many different shades...it's hard to tell which is the most accurate.

+1. It is very dark, approaching black.

It's very good looking in-person when it's clean. But is sure is hard to keep it clean!

Thanks for the pic...that's perfect. It's a great color and has to be easier than black to keep clean, no? What color of interior do you have?

That's a great picture. Where the sun is hitting the rear-quarter panel is how it looks in bright, direct light, which I think looks very good. The front quarter panel and door is how it looks indoors (showroom, garage) or on overcast days. There are several that park near me here in the city.

i find the the deep sea blue looking very dark and near "black" in some light is a positive. i like to choose colors that complement the inevitable chrome on any factory built car. the brilliant black and deep sea blue do a fine job of it. i personally wished for a dark or charcoal gray which i think is close to Lava Gray, offered up north but not in the US. White always looks great when I see it on the road and I will admit to color envy but feel it doesnt look as mean vs a darker color. There is something (really nice) about white bimmers and similar carries over to Audis but not quite like bimmers.
