oh ok , i would have preferred arctic if i had a chance, calcite is also only available in the UAE.:nix: It's probably the same color..just different names. Do you really think MB would import one white to Canada and another to the US? Very doubtful. I've seen both versions of white, there are private importers of C sedans here in the dez, the North American versions with the orange side marker light in the front bumper(that light is not required here) in the arctic white version is close to a "refrigerator white" as best as I can describe it. The Calcite white version like mine is a more yellowish white-ish color.Only that color is imported here by the dealer. Not as bright a white as the "arctic" white, still, I am not sure if both versions are available in the States. I thought they both had the same colour codes? duh, not sure about the codes..............:nix: Sorry to go offtopic, as this is a picture thread, but i got stuck with the same predicament when painting my spoiler and thought Id provide some clarification. My initial thought was that the car was Arctic White because thats what is said on the sticker when I purchased the vehicle; however, the paint code for Arctic white and paint itself is waaaay off (DONT PAINT W ARCTIC WHITE PAINT CODE). The actual and correct color and code is Calcite White, Code #C650. This is at least true for the 2008 models, not sure if things changed in the 09' or 10'.
