Nardo Grey vs Racing Green

Peinture comparison · updated août 2026

Racing Green (#1C4634) reads darker than Nardo Grey (#6B7078), so it holds shadow in the body lines where Nardo Grey lifts them. Both render in gloss, satin or matte, so the finish is a separate decision from the colour and you can try either one in all three. Body shape, paint condition and the light you shoot in move both colours further than a swatch chip suggests. Seeing them on your own car settles it, free, in a couple of minutes.

Nardo Grey vs Racing Green: the differences.

The first difference between Nardo Grey and Racing Green is depth: Racing Green reads darker, so it hides body lines that Nardo Grey shows. The second is not the finish: both are available in gloss, satin or matte, so the sheen is a separate decision from the colour. Low light, curved panels and your own trim decide the rest, and none of that shows up on a swatch. Render both on your car and compare them there.

Side by side

Le Nardo Grey est un gris mat, presque désaturé, qu'Audi a rendu célèbre sur ses RS et qui est depuis devenu l'une des teintes les plus demandées en peinture complète comme en covering. Aucun effet métallisé pour accrocher la lumière : il tire vers le béton brut en plein soleil et descend presque au charbon sous les nuages — c'est exactement pour ça qu'il flatte les lignes tendues et avale les formes molles. Juge-le un jour gris, c'est là qu'il passe l'essentiel de sa vie.

Le British Racing Green est le vert profond et sourd des couleurs de course britanniques, assez sombre pour passer pour du noir au premier coup d'œil et franchement vert dès que la lumière l'attrape. Comme il vit surtout dans l'ombre, il récompense les panneaux droits et une carrosserie saine, et ne pardonne ni les bosses ni la préparation bâclée. Associe-le à un intérieur chaud et il arrête d'être une couleur pour devenir un parti pris.
