For those who have seen the Nemo Blue pearl finish (or have a good imagination) which interior do you think would look best? Melange or Onyx. Of course I'm open to other interior recommendations as well.

getting closer,

Gary

 

Onyx

 

I think that the lighter interior will complement the relatively dark exterior better than a dark, almost black, int. But, it comes down to whether or not you want a light, airy int. or a dark, sporty int. Which wood do you like best?

 

Melange

 

Silver leather and Alcantara in the S6. Unfortunately, you can't get it in the A6 4.2. So Onyx gets my nod.

Matched with Nemo and with the tinted glass, the Melange takes on a kind of pasty green tinge. What is normally a pretty nice color ends up looking like bad window putty in a Nemo car.<p>2000 Nogaro/Silver - S4

seeing nemo in the first place. Green tinge 2953?

 

Where did you see the Nemo Blue & Melange combo? What about tungsten?

…My brother lives in Switzerland and has an S6 company car in Nemo with Onyx. I drove an Audi S6 demo that was Nemo with Silver and fell in love with it. Spotted the Nemo with melange at a curb in München. It was an A6 4.2 running trade plates (sort of the German equivalent of M-plates). In the S6 catalogue, the only interior colors listed are Onyx and Silver and I thought that Nemo was an S6 exclusive for the year. But you can get a paint deviation in Germany if you're willing to pay for it. Dm 2000 worth of deviation, I believe.

Regardless, I wasn't fond of the Melange. Tungsten, on the other hand, might be a pretty good combo in the event you can't live with an interior as dark as Onyx.<p>2000 Nogaro/Silver - S4

the few that have seen Nemo, and really rare that you have seen it with melange interior. I bet my best bet is to go with the onyx. Looks good on your brothers right?

I too like the silver best (w/S6), I asked my dealer in Seattle, WA and he said no way (even at an extra cost).

I'm not as sure of the melange with nemo. I do like melange with ming blue. Do you feel the ming blue is incompatable with the melange or is it just with nemo that you do not like the combo?

BTW, is nemo a lighter compaired with ming? Is it a blue/gray/green (mostly blue gray) color all mixed together?

It's blue and stays blue regardless of lighting conditions, just like Santorin & Nogaro. But Nemo has a fair bit of travel that can significantly change both the value and intensity of the base color. In most light, Nemo is appreciably lighter than Ming… but it still isn't "light blue,"

First off, let me say that, like Nogaro blue, I have yet to see a photo of a Nemo car that accurately captures the color. The S6s tested in Auto Motor und Sport as well as Autocar last year were Nemo. Neither magazine's snaps were really representative of the color. Nevertheless, here are a couple of photos that may help.

In both you can see the travel the color possesses. The photo on the left was taken at the Tokyo show last year and the noted areas are about as light as Nemo gets. In artificial light the color lights up to the gray side and looses color intensity. Very sophisticated, nicht wahr? While in sunlight (the photo on the right, the blue becomes more intense. The highlighted areas are good examples of the intensity of the blue in natural light. As available light gets brighter, the transition between lightness and darkness becomes much more pronounced (Duh!).

With the choice of Melange, Onyx and Tungsten with Nemo in the States, I don't think you could go wrong with either of the latter colors. But I'd avoid Melange with the potential gray overtone that I've seen Nemo exhibit. Put simply, if you could live with the Ming/Melange AND Cashmere/Melange AND Silver/Melange combinations, Nemo/Melange would probably work for you.

I just think it's the fourth choice out of four combinations. Nemo/Silver, unavailable though it may be, is still the hottest… meebe when the S6 lands here.<p>2000 Nogaro/Silver - S4
