I see that not to many people saw the above table, although there are many questions about the colors.
So I "replied" to make it "go up" in the list...

I have a US CLK500 in 357 Iolite also known as Saks Fifth Avenue Blue.

It is the best color not available here otherwise.

Saganos

Thanks kiko69469!

I found some more info about it.
There are 61 special CLK 500 “Saks Fifth Avenue” editions, in "Saks Fifth Avenue Blue" with Stone (beige) interior.
It is a version for the Fashion Targets Breast Cancer (FTBC).

I am surprized, because I am Doctor of Medicine and it seems that my choice of colours, (without knowing about it) have this special meaning.

Sorry for asking kiko but, are you a woman?
I will be very happy if you can post some pictures of your (beautiful) car!
