For years, Audi’s Nardo Grey paintwork has been an icon in the automotive world. Its flat, non-metallic finish has graced the bodywork of countless Audi RS models, making it one of the most sought-after and recognizable colours in the performance car segment. However, as the industry moves forward Audi has introduced a worthy successor: Kemora Grey Metallic.
The Legacy of Audi Grey: Nardo Grey
Nardo Grey first debuted as a paint option for Audi’s high-performance RS lineup, quickly gaining a cult following due to its clean, minimalist aesthetic. The lack of metallic flake in its composition gave it a unique, almost primer-like appearance that contrasted sharply with the more traditional glossy and metallic finishes seen on most vehicles. It exuded an aggressive, motorsport-inspired presence, making it a favourite among enthusiasts and tuners alike. Click here to view this RS3 Sportback below.
Enter Kemora Grey Metallic
With the introduction of Kemora Grey Metallic, Audi has taken the essence of Nardo Grey and elevated it. Unlike its predecessor, Kemora Grey features a subtle metallic flake that enhances the paint’s depth and light-reflecting properties. This means that under different lighting conditions, the colour takes on a more dynamic presence, shimmering with an almost liquid-metal effect while still maintaining the sleek, understated character that made Nardo Grey so beloved.
Why the Change?
As paint technology advances, manufacturers are increasingly leaning towards finishes that offer more dimension and sophistication. The introduction of Kemora Grey Metallic aligns with Audi’s push for a more premium and contemporary aesthetic. Additionally, Audi Grey palette shows how the brand has evolved its colours.
