E350 Luxury, Indigo Blue Metaliic
I haven't seen this color on the road yet. Not that many Benz's around here anyway. Indigo blue metallic certainly has blue in it. However, in certain lighting you can see tinges of indigo; very subtle, but it's there. I can see it only in bright sunlight at certain angles. When the sun is setting, it is easier to spot (see the last photo). I worked at getting the right color balance in these shots and they should look accurate on calibrated monitors.
The gray MB-Tex is good for this type of blue. The burled walnut gives it some warmth. Very happy with the combination.
Still getting used to the driver assistance packages. Also have Parking Assist w/surround camera, Keyless Go, split seats, comfort box, lighting package, and heated steering wheel.
We're heading for a trip to the Southwest in a week. Want to put some good miles on this car. Our first MB, and hopefully not our last!

You can see the indigo when the setting sunlight hits the car at this angle.

Congratulations. Looks very good. I have same interior on my 2010 "E" and still think it looks great. Only downside is the carpet mats may tend to get dirty over time, but stand up well to cleaning. Could replace them with a custom set from Auto Anything or similar in a medium gray. That's my plan when mine show too much dirt.
I think the blue is great color and it tends to diminish the oversized lower plastic inserts on the front bumper.

Thanks for the comments. I love this site for the great suggestions, and I will look into the medium gray mats.

Thanks for posting these pictures. I haven't seen this color in person. My last two cars have been Lunar Blue and I was thinking about this color for the next one. I think I'll have to give it a try.

Interesting, this must be an updated version of the color, because on the pre-facelifted models it looked much different (use to be a light blue).

I believe your color is called "Covelline Blue" in South Africa and Europe.

Funny, but the car that got me into the MB fold was an E350 that was dolomite brown (I think), that passed me on I-80 in Indiana. That was a fine-looking vehicle, but I just couldn't get the spouse interested in that color.

This is a stunning color - I finally got to see it in person and your photos represent the color well on my monitor. In person, the metallic flakes are much more apparent and lend a shimmery appearance to the color. I really like it and it shifts a lot. I would definitely be happy with this color for a long term car and my humble opinion is that it is timeless and will not date. Congrats on your car and enjoy!
