The Emerald Green club

Since Emerald Green is a bit of a unicorn color, I thought I'd start off a thread dedicated to real life photos of the color.

Emerald Green is VERY dark, but has an incredibly elegant green luster to it depending on the angle you catch it. While it can initially look black, it looks different than plain ol' black.

While photos don't do this color justice, I think the below help show it a bit more in its natural state.

Thanks for the great photos of a great spec. Especially digging the seldom specced AMG twin spokes without the black inserts. Excited to share photos of mine here once it lands later this summer.

Photos I took below of a C63S in Emerald with Designo Saddle @ MB of Burlington in Boston a few months ago. Believe it has sold.

Looks fantastic. Such a great color. I think it’s going to be surprisingly easy to take care of as long as it’s waxed regularly.

I’m getting another coat on mine this weekend. So far though, the first coat has helped immensely.

Great color. I have a E400 2018 and I see lots of orange Peel in my Emerald green coupe, Do you see any of that?

No orange peel on mine. Nice, shiny, and smooth.

How bad is it on yours? Can you capture it in photos?

No I just detailed it and found the paint to be extremely top notch, just a bit of orange peel on the gas door

Interior is the Saddle Brown leather with black ash and aluminum trim. Haven't yet figured out the Nav or even the garage door opener - but she's comfortable, quiet enough and quick!

Ha, did you pick that one up from MB San Diego? I test drove that one. Pretty much fully loaded, great find!

Yes, San Diego. After four weeks of questions, offers, counter offers, all by phone, wife drove me down there (100 mi.) and I drove this CPO home. Have a road trip into UT planned for mid June.

Nice, that's how I negotiated my current car without ever seeing it in person. I didn't try negotiating too hard but they got down to $60k for me. Do you mind sharing how much you got it for out of curiosity?

That's a pretty solid deal for only having 2600 miles. Probably close to $70k MSRP car so $5/mile discount from new. Hope you're enjoying it!

I won’t be able to check it out until tomorrow, but my SA sent some potato photos for now. Very similar spec to yours, Grant. Will update with better photos hopefully tomorrow. Excited is an understatement.
