Hey guys, I am about to pull the trigger on a new Audi Q7 (my first Audi) and was wondering if anyone has pics of a Graphite Gray with the blackout package? Is this a common color scheme or is the blackout package normally used with the white and black colors only?

Thanks

Might be hard to source now since graphite grey is discontinued now

Thanks for the link, my local dealer told me yesterday the gray was being discontinued for another color but it was still fairly close according to the color sample he showed me.

It looked to me like the samurai gray is a little darker, which I probably would prefer over the graphite gray. My wife and I wanted a charcoal colored vehicle. We liked the black optic package and the nice contrast it gave to the gray. Did not care for white and black.

BryonL, is that yours? How come the rear lower trim is black without BOP?
Here is a view of mine (without BOP for comparison) from one angle . I love how light it looks in direct sunlight and darker grayish in cloudy weather.

Yes that is mine. It does indeed have the bop. Original poster wanted graphite gray metallic with black optic package...so I produced some photos.

And I also agree with the illusion of color darkness depending on the weather!

Oh wow, this totally threw me off:


I thought for a second only the rear was black and side looked chrome-like because how shiny it was. It looks good.
I liked the chrome look over graphite gray, but if I was getting Prestige, it would most likely be white or black with BOP. I didn't think it would look good on graphite gray since it looks a bit on the brownish side of gray, but looks like it works on graphite too.

Haha I actually zoomed in on that photo too, to make sure it does look black. My bride chose the color scheme, we both like it. Though we did consider all black...
