Car colour code
I have been told by Audi my car is Hound Grey but find no record of Hound Grey as an option.
How do I resolve this and find out the colour of my car! It is almost brown in some lights.

What code is on the build sticker?
__________________
2003 D2 FL S8. Irish Green Pearl/Beige. Solar sunroof, auto-dim mirrors, electric rear seat functions, ski hatch retrofit; extended leather. Aftermarket DVB-T, reversing camera and full XCarlink (Bluetooth etc.). 2016 Volvo V40 T5 Cross Country (4WD) with ALL the toys including adaptive cruise etc. etc. Osmium Grey with Blonde/Charcoal leather interior. Polestar performance "optimisation".  (A much rarer model than a D2 S8 by the way!) Oh, and a brand new engine at just under 30,000 miles on the factory one!  Finally: gone, but not forgotten..... 1998 D2 PF S8. AgateGrey/Platinum. Every option (I think) except electric rear seats, tiptronic steering wheel, ski hatch, towbar & dimming door mirrors. e.g. Cruise control, NavPlus/TV, Bose, GSM, Xenons, Solar roof, Parking sensors, Alcantara/leather everywhere of course.  (internal dimming mirror added later)1998 (very early) Ford Focus 1.8 Zetec; ABS/TCS, Heated screen/mirrors, Aircon, Auto-dim mirror, Leather, Trip computer, Cruise control, OEM Ford SatNav with CD changer. And before that a lot of Rover 800s, a few oddities, a lovely Triumph Dolomite 1850HL with Overdrive and way back in my schooldays an Austin Seven aka Mini 850!

I have taken a photo of the sticker, any reason I cannot post the entire thing on here for help? Not sure which one is the paint code.

BSM = engine
HNM = gearbox KZK = final drive N5D = leather valcona so what is the colour? Maybe special custom order? Mine is where yours says ----/---- Try registering here https://www.audi.co.uk/youraudi/your...rnmore/landing Mine pulls up the car colour with just the reg.no. (assuming WsM = Western Super Mare in the UK) Last edited by snapdragon; 4th September 2016 at 01:37 PM.

By amazing coincidence, that's the precise same colour name as my hair!

I thought Smooth Hound Grey was a shade of dog, but it's a type of grey shark.
