Color Chart: 1994 / 1995 Audi Lifestyle Colors

With this new Color Chart series, we’re aiming to catalogue even more paint colors from various periods. First up is this 1994 and 1995 model year mix from Audi labeled as Lifestyle colors and they’re an interesting mix of often intense colors.

In 1994 and 1995, Audi was on the ropes. Porsche was about to launch the RS2, which was very special indeed, but Audi as a brand was challenged to come up with a freshened range of cars that could rekindle the market attention that had waned since the retirement of the original “ur” quattro.

Audi exclusive was in its infancy, and special colors like these had been chosen by the brand’s design team as something special to juice sales and interest in the cars. A contact from that time who worked at the Simi Valley Design Studio even suggests studio chief J. Mays had ordered his own company car in Inca Yellow as seen in this chart.

Inka Yellow Pearl Effect (9963)
