Difference between Ash & Oyster leather

Hey guys, I'm ordering new mats for my CLK and I don't have a manual for my car so I can't get the color code for it. I also can't find pics to compare the two so I need to see if any of you can help me. My interior is a very light gray and I just wanted to see if it was either the Ash or Oyster interior. Any help would be appreciated.

Call your dealer and give them the VIN and they'll give you all the info about your car.

If your interior color is light grey, I would assume it is a light grey. Oyster is more like creamy color.
Hope this helps,

Another way to tell the interior color

the top of the dash pad and the tops of the doors & center console are in a darker contrast color.

The ash interior is a very dark gray over the lighter gray lower dash and door panels.

The oyster is a darker shade of khaki over a lighter cream color for lower dash & door panels.


The ash leather has a slight bluish / gray color to it as well.

Oyster is a neutral cream color - not exactly white, but close.
