[V8] colors....

[Ed Kellock]

I've never noticed any green component in Glacier Blue, but I am
slightly red/green color blind so what the H do I know?

My 5spd is Opal Mica, which is a bit like gunmetal blue.  To me, it is
the same base as Lago Blue except the green component is replaced with
grey.  In fact, when I bought it, it was mistakenly represented as
Lago.  I have seen (not in person) two Opal 93's for sale.  Both had
blue interior, unfortunately.

Cyclamen is a rather dark burgundy. Too dark for me really as I
struggle to see it as red in some light conditions.  A neighbor had a
Ruby Red 94 90q.

I've seen Papyrus and Bamboo, bright red, I guess it's Tornado Red,
but I didn't think that was the real name.

I've seen Indigo Mica, which is a very dark blue, another color like
Cyclamen that often fails to be recognized as its base color.

Ragusa rare????  LOL, that seems like that's about all that's been on
the market lately.  I would concede that pearl was probably more
common at that time though and sometimes it does seem like Audi might
have invented Pearl because of all the cars of that color.
