    What color is this?

    What color is the car in the top picture? It's a 2014 A4. I saw it on carmax (I am not buying any car, I just like to look and it caught my eye because it's such a nice color and wheel trim )



    I was tempted to call it scuba blue, but I don't think it is. Scuba blue seems to have more "gray". I think this is scuba blue:



    These 2 cars were on carmax. The top one has a rap sheet (2 accidents, and the A4 badge is in the wrong place so clearly has had paintwork. Did bodyshop just paint it a random blue color?)

    As far as I'm aware, the only blues available during this generation were
    Scuba Blue Metallic
    Utopia Blue Metallic
    Moonlight blue metallic
    Sepang Blue Pearl effect
    and possibly Estoril Blue pearl effect from the S4?

    The top car doesn't seem to match any of those colors or am I blind? Is it sepang or estoril?

    Why does it look so different to the second one?

    MY14 A4 sedan had two blues, Scuba Blue metallic and Moonlight Blue metallic. That's clearly not dark enough for Moonlight Blue. As for the slight diff in pic, camera seems like it's not exactly at the same position relative to the car. And the more base car has had someone tint the rear sides.

    Could have been repainted, also lighting looks different between the two vehicles.
