Red interior differences

Is there a difference between these two interior red colors?
- Classic Red/Black AMG Exclusive Leather
- Red Pepper/Black

I can't seem to find anything online. I've seen both on different window stickers

Shouldn't be custom but I have never seen that in a GT model. Maybe earlier years?

The Pepper Red/Black came as a base nappa for the GT (then featuring a black center console surround/lower dash and the exclusive nappa with the red center console surround/lower dash). Then there was a Black w. red contrast (dynamica seating - no seat ventilation).
That's all I remember but a pic is worth a thousand words!

Show us your interior!
Here is our Pepper Red/Black...

That’s what I figured. You have the Pepper Red/Black Exclusive Nappa.

Nevermind the window sticker which is just a used car one made up by the dealership.
This is usually due to the fact that the VIN may not show the word pepper red but just: exclusive leather black/red.

Just look for option code 557

Gotcha, thanks for the info! You're right, I see 557 Red Pepper Red.. I don't know how I missed that lol.

I got the label from monroneylabels.com. Not sure where to pull that info from. Are there any other sites/places to get an "official" window sticker?

That's probably the best place to get window stickers from but nothing will match the factory one (in terms of exact verbiage and options detail).
I personally wouldn't sweat it. Just get a copy of the DOG (Dealer Order Guide) for the model year of your car so that you can reference all options you have with some details...

They should be available elsewhere on this forum (do a search). For reference, here is a MY20 roadster...

Just FYI, 857 is also Pepper Red/Black, just not exclusive Nappa (features the black center console surround)

VIN info will usually not provide the proper leather description.
