Help with interior trim colour
 
I'm trying to find out what colour trim my s8 has so i can order some new car mats. The code on the Service Book is wrong: it comes up as Aqua and it's definitely not blue.

The best way to describe it - and a way that everybody can check in their own car - is the leather is nearly the same shade as the plastic on the dash; a very dark grey.

Any thoughts on what this might be called?

Thanks?

PErhaps the seats have been changed etc, put up a photo as i used to own and Aqua interior so can see why some would have changed it :) Platinum grey is the most likely i would think..

Platinum is not dark. ;) What year is it, PF or FL?

Have a look at our sponsors advice: http://stores.ebay.co.uk/The-Audi-Pa...r-Audi-A8.html

Finally, take up the front main carpets, they "should" have a label on them.

Interior hasn't been changed, i'm certain of that as there's a comprehensive history with the car. Only one owner from new so they would have chosen the right colour from the start, you'd hope.

Thanks for link - my money is on Swing or Pearl.

Remember the carpets only came in a limited number of colours anyway, so probably just "dark grey" (Swing).

Is it me, or does anyone else thing 'swing' is a strange name for a colour?

Pic of interior. Any suggestions?

Looks very similar to the S8 I viewed yesterday - Adrian suggested it was Swing Grey based on the code?

Nice! Definitely too dark for Platinum, but looks great.
