2002 Blue C32
What is the correct color code????
I have a dark blue 2002 C32 and I asked the dealership for my color code. I gave the service advisor my VIN and the code he gave me was 189BO "Black Opal"????? Is this correct? How does black Opal have anything to do with blue????

I experienced the same thing with my 2005 C55, in which the car is clearly a dark, dark, metallic blue, yet for some reason the artists at MB decided to call it "diamond black metallic". 
My door panel color code validated it to be true. Apparently by the information you provided, this has been a long running tradition with MB.

look on your driver door pillar next to the hinge. same sticker one corner says production month and year the other corner is your color code.
Black Opal is more green than blue.

That's funny. I was looking at an old post when I told you that your car color may have been obsidian black, but I must have been thinking of black opal. I was close.
