Default Living with Ming Blue?

I am trying to decide between the tradioional Silver and the Ming Blue color. I have had 2 silver cars and have a red //M roadster.
Any feed back would be apreciated.
Thanks

Default My A6 is Sartorin Blue...

Blue will show water spots easier, but I think a dark car looks better. I'm happy with my choice.
And besides, I'm pretty sure I read a stat that almost 50% of Audi's are Silver...never follow.

Default Dark colors are a pain! That said, they look the best in my book. Really like the ming blue; but,

opted for the Black instead. The Vinilla/Ebony interior drug me over to the dark side. If your not into upkeep don't even think about it.

Default I fell in love with ming blue first time I saw it.

Default I actually ordered it. wanted the Vinilla/ Ebony interior. Really like the contrast. Now i've got

hardest interior and exterior to care for. Vinilla picks up dye from any dyed cotton product. It's a pain as well.............

Default agreed

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/36713/frontside.jpg"></center><p>I love the color. It's very beautiful to look at, but not gawdy enough to draw excessive attention (especially the wrong kind of attention).
