Opal Silver
Hi All
Have a look at this web address, it sort of helps. Though it allows you to put the coursor on the colour and see the pic of the car, it does not actually tell you what the colours are.

I saw one just under a week ago. It is lovely! I did look twice as I didn't realise they done it in that colour. In fact I was rubber necking so much I nearly crashed MY Eos into the car in front! lol

having looked at the above pages i would say all the colours are the same just given different names
so i think the colour you refer to is 'wheat beige'
you can do a search but i found one here for you

I would agree the colour looks more like beige than silver and often wonder where manufacturers get their names from, the picture I have tried to attached is from VW's own site in germany and is listed as a special for 2009 -as Opal Silver Metallic

The one I saw was definitely silver and not the champagney colour of the wheat beige one. It was a 57 plate too, I heard that the wheat beige was stopped after 2 years due to people not wanting to own a beige car...?silver it is not
Opal Silver Vs Wheat Beige
Well I finally feel confident enough to report on something to do with the Eos.
Today I test drove a Wheat Beige Eos. That colour is no longer in production (in Australia). It was a MY2008 TDI.
I took the sample Opal Silver A4 swatch outside to the Wheat Beige car, and they were so similar. Depending on the direction you look at it it does change colour slightly,(not silver exactly, but a silvery type of shine but it is near on close enough to Wheat Beige for my liking.
The colour on the South African website listed earlier on this thread is not really a good representation.

Ah Ahhh now I think I understand, they had a job lot of beige, stopped it because it was not selling so brought it back under a different name, good trick if you can get away with it and there are enough to be "fooled". EOS owners I think are far from fools, look what great cars they bought

Isn't Opale a colour in itself, i.e. from the Opale stone, which has actualy a beige-pearl apperance and then revals different colours depending on which angle or light you look at it from/under? Renault (on Laguna Mk I) and customizers for expensive cars or motorboats have long had these types of paitings that change colour depending on viewing side... It could be that VW has made this sort of painting available as part of the Individual program....

Opal Silver
I've seen the Opal Silver w/ black interior and the Opal is gorgeous. It's so rich looking. I"m buying an Eos in the next few weeks. I wanted the Salsa Red but now I'm leaning towards the Opal Silver. I just can't find either w/ the black interior so I may have to get beige.

If you're in the USA, try Brown's VW in Midlothian, Virginia. www.brownsvw.com
I saw two Opal Silver cars on the lot, but can't remember what color interior they had. I think they are both Komfort models.
