That dark gray looks more Singapore Gray than Mineral Gray but it's probably just the lighting - it's amazing how much the look of metallic paints can vary under different conditions and camera settings. I do hope Singapore will be an option...it looks great on the M5/M6 and IMO more exciting than Mineral Gray. |

I hope Austin Yellow is the same yellow as the concept M4 color. I really like Aurum Dust. I am however in my mid-40 and this maybe to bold for me...

So do we think that there is any chance that AY and AD are actually exactly the same? How do we know that the supposed AY in the first spy pic in not actually just a test mule / Concept car painted in AD? Thoughts?

I am with you, but I have an Alpine White car now and I can't do it 2 cars in a row. It will look sharp if you like the color. The blue is more childish than the yellow, and the other colors are either super high maintenance (black) or boring IMO.

It is a bold, head turning color, something different from your regular yellow.

Any thoughts on how AY with Sonoma Beige Full Merino might look? Has anybody even seen Sonoma Beige yet?

Austin Yellow vs Aurum Dust
Austin Yellow - BASF pigment -Metal flakes less shiny texture
Aurum Dust - Merck pigment - Glass flake texture more luster Crystal Tone are identical both. Key to factor in sunlight conditions to compare both colors on the same stage. I have more photos here. Picture <Austin Yellow Last edited by Pure; 12-12-2013 at 07:47 AM.. |

Ok I am happy.. From the looks of the pictures, AY seems to more of a deep gold and AU looks like it has more of a highlighter effect at some angles (which is still awesome!).
So the next question is will any other interior go well with this except black? I am definitely getting AY but I really dont want to half to get an all black interior. I know some people opted for red seats with PY which seemed ok at times and horrible at others. I think red seats only might work on the M4. The red and AY works on the back with the tail lights. Other than that, I guess the only other real contender to black would be senoma beige which also could work but it might not be aggressive enough for such an aggressive color. That being said, red might be TOO loud... DAMNIT! What is a guy to do?! (1st world problems).. I just wish there was an alcantera option so I could feel better about going all black inside without it boring me.
