Hyacinth with Saddle Brown?

I’m just about to order a E300 Coupe. Hyacinth Red Designo is my favourite colour (believe this is Cardinal Red in some markets).

I’ve seen an Emerald Green car with a Saddle Brown interior, which I liked, but I’m not sure if this interior would work with Hyacinth Red. I can’t find any used cars for sale with this combination to look at, so I’m wondering if that’s because it’s not such a good idea.

Ant thoughts?

Have you used the MBUSA configurator? You can see if the combo is available and how it looks...in pictures at least. Good luck!

I’ve looked on the configurator, trouble is that both the exterior and interior colours look quite different to those illustrated. I think saddle brown is a lot more orange in reality.

The brochure says that this combination is “not recommended”!

Don't rely on other fashion sense, do what you like to do.

I agree with that, but I want to make an informed decision, and I’m struggling to find a picture of a car with this combination to look at, ideally in bright light, with the exterior and interior visible at the same time. I was hoping someone here might have that combination - a cabriolet would be just as useful to look at.

As has been said, it’s your choice. From my post below you can see the Emerald Green with Saddle Brown. Couldn’t really see it well on the configurator when I ordered it but love the way it turned out.
its “only a car”! How bad could it be??

I don’t know if this helps. I have that exact combination on mine. Designo cardinal red and designo saddle brown on amg performance seats, except on a c43 sedan not an e-coupe.
I ordered it the way I wanted. When it was delivered, no one in the dealership has seen a combination like mine, but they all loved it.
It’s difficult to see in the pics because you usually see either the interior or exterior.
I hope these pics help.







...and yes i do love my combination!

Thank you for posting those, that’s exactly what I was after. I’d pretty much decided to change to red/black as pictured but I’ll probably stick with Saddle Brown now.
