It does come out lighter in photos which makes it look like Titanium but it is quite a dark grey. I'm 99% certain it's Swing/Pearl.

Just for info, here's a picture of my PF Platinum leather/alcantara seats with FL Swing Grey armrests, which are somewhat darker.

Not convinced it's Swing - look at the contrast.

Maybe Pearl

If your seatbelt is the same colour have a look at the label at the bottom of the B pillar on each side - it has the colour code or at the very least a full part number that relates to a colour code

Post here and can ID from that potentially

We had Swing in our A6 and it basically looks very dark grey, verging on black

Will check seat belts in the morning. I can see from Architex's photo how dark-almost-black Swing is, and it's not that.

I'm thinking Pearl as a) it's the only other option that's closest and b) the leather does have a slight pearlescent sheen to it. It's not a flat colour and it's more than just shiny leather.

I thought you were after mats, but we have no pictures including your carpet?

Good point, I got distracted by trying to decipher the incorrect spec sheet interior code.

Pic of dirty mat attached. I've circled the areas that show the truer colour, rather than the trampled grubby area that has come out lighter.

And any helpful labels on the back of the overmats or the main foam-backed carpet sections?

Well I never. The mats say Aqua as well but there isn't a hint of blue on any part of the interior. What shade should Aqua be?
