RS Blau Perleffekt (RS2/S6 Plus)    Z5M
Nogaroblau Perleffekt (neu S4/S6)    Z5M
Jazzblue Perleffekt (VW) W5Z
Santorinblau (all new Audis) Z5K

FWIW, looks like the factory just changed the marketing name on the RS
Blue to Nogaro Blue.  The Santorin Blue is included in my list only
because someone brought it up.  It is much darker, with some
purple/red hues, separating it from the Mingblau Perleffekt and the
Blau Perleffekt as have also been available on new Audis.
