What was that "copper" color used on CLK's?

I recall seeing a few of what I THOUGHT were CLK models, painted in a copper color, maybe like 5 years ago or so. Might anyone here know the exact name of that color? Thanks!

WOW. Thanks! We all have come to rely on your expertise as you've helped pretty much every W208 owner figure out one issue or another. So to receive praise from you is quite humbling. You are most definitely the W208 Godfather!!!
