'Tang Ina! I didn't even realize that was you at first, Rey! How's the car treating you? Yeah, it sounds like you have Capri blue.

It's all good! Liking it a lot! When's the next meet. I missed the last one.
I've been busy lately with work and family. I'd like to see your car & Jose' to get some ideas. Maybe one of these weekends if you guys are available.

My front bumper will be ordered at the end of next week, most likely. The sideskirts and rear will be later on. Next meet I think is in D'ego, if I'm not mistaken. Oh and I think there is one in Canyon Country (West Valley) soon.

Capri Blue is: C359
Black is: C040
I'm not sure about the other paint codes, but you can just google Mercedes Paint Codes, and you'll find a site with all the codes.
I'll post pics of mine as soon as I find some on my work laptop.

Welcome to the Forum C200Komressor !! You'll really enjoy it here. That's a nice color you're looking it. It looks darker than the Orion Blue, but lighter than the Capri Blue we have in the States. Wondering if Australia has a different color they don't offer here in the US.
Also funny to see the C200 Kompressor moniker (the US only has the C230 Kompressor), as well as the steering wheel on the right side.
As for the blues in the US, we have the following colors from lightest to darkest:
C345 - Orion Blue Metallic - very bright blue
C359 - Capri Blue Metallic - definitely darker, but noticeable that it's blue (aka: Tanzanite Blue)
C904 - Midnight Blue Metallic - much darker blue. Can see the blue when the sunlight hits it.
C197 - Obsidian Black Metallic - even darker, almost black
C025 - Diamond Black Metallic - even darker, almost black
C189 - Black Opal Metallic - very dark, blue-gray-black look
BTW, on the C-Class, all metallic paints are a $680.00 option cost. The only non-metallic colors are: Mars Red, Alabaster White, and Black.
Apparently there are other blue colors not available in the US:
C347 - Horizon Blue Metallic
C353 - Platinum Blue Metallic
C355 - Diamond Blue Metallic
C357 - Cadet Blue Metallic
C950 - Caspian Blue Metallic
It would be interesting to see what the paint code is on the car you're looking at C200 Komressor. (see my previous posting to find where it is located on the car)
I was specifically looking for a Capri Blue C230WZ. IMHO, the Orion Blue was too blue, and the others were too dark, almost black-like. But I must admit, the Midnight Blue and Diamond Black's are really really nice. I just prefer the Capri Blue.
Found a website with all the codes: http://www.landiss.com/paintcodes.htm
These appear to be across the entire range of M-B cars. I do notice some colors missing: C544 - Barolo Red Metallic for example. But maybe because that's a very new color.

The info on Midnight blue is wrong. There was never a metallic version of midnight blue.
