Wow, what a deal. Beautiful car. I'm jealous. It looks like it might be Bengal Red?

 

~ it appears brighter in the photo but i would describe it as a darker/medium red leather.

i can try to capture a better picture tomorrow of the cars interior if it would help?

 

My car looks the same for the most part. Think brick red. It's very classy and looks great, not a bright "look at me" red. I've actually gotten more compliments on the interior than I have anything else. I was nervous about having red but now I don't think I could go with any other color.

 

It's called 'Flamenco Red' on the C Class

Also No.1 pick for me, absolutely love it and the combination of diamond white exterior flamenco red interior, it also combines well with nearly all of the exterior colour range

 

Hey Andrew, show the pics of the back seat too. It really standout with the 2 tone colors.

 

I wonder how that compares to BMW X-1's Coral Red?

 

I can answer that one as I almost purchased a 135i with coral red interior - coral red is a lot brighter/lighter red than MB's flamenco red.

Flamenco red looks more like a burgundy/dark or wine red shade, it always seems to look lighter in pics as mentioned above by andrew.

Personally the flamenco is a much better looking shade of red and it wears better too because marks and blemishes won't stand out as much as a lighter red like BMW's coral colour.

I'll post a couple up of mine - hopefully they'll show a more realistic view but may still appear to be a little lighter shade than the real thing

 

~ another pic of my interior:

 

Y'all are very helpful. TheBimmer Coral Red is almost pink. It seems like the Mercedes is closer to a classic red

One more request. Pic of the rear seat, please.

 

~ here are some pics i took today of the full interior including the door panel...

 

Wowzer.

I'm going to assume the red in the shadows is more like the real color than the parts bathed in sunshine.

 

AV1s picks are the most representative I feel. Like I said, it's a brick red and that's the best way to describe it. It's not flashy at all, a great red really.
