Interior/exterior reds match?

I'm about to order a new E450 cab and definitely want the red/black leather seats. I'm also considering ordering it in Patagonia red and was wondering if anyone knows if the two reds are close enough to one another not to clash?

Thanks for any info you may have.

Go to mbusa.com and build it. It will show both. You can see if it meets your goal.

A Cabriolet with red interior and red paint is tricky. I would definitely see both colors in person before ordering. Larger dealers can have actual swatches of leather and mini painted cars. Trying to match up these colors from a website only could be a disaster.

2022 GLE 450 (Black on Black)
I agree with Greg B. Nothing like seeing your intended selection in person if possible. The issue may be the lack of vehicles at dealerships now. For example, we ordered a new GLE450 4MATIC a few days ago with a brown-walnut interior dashboard and steering wheel trim. When my wife and I went to another dealership we saw the actual combination including the steering wheel and did not like the way it looked.. So we changed it. Good luck.

well, I ordered red with red interior. I don’t expect them to be the same color. I’m sure it will be great. If and when the car shows up, I’m sure I’ll be happy with it. Good luck finding a red car on the lot.

2022 E450 Cabriolet
I fully agree with Greg B . Don't chance it without checking in person , even if you can't see the combo on one car . When I purchased my C43 cabrio , I wanted the Cranberry red interior with red exterior , but after seeing the colors in person at the last minute , changed the exterior to blue for contrast , because the two reds did not match well . My current order for an E450 cabrio is designo beige and red interior with an exterior of Rubellite red . I've seen pictures of Rubellite red with the red / black interior and it looks good because there's a contrast . Patagonia may be OK , but again try to see the actual colors because they may look a little "off" when together and you don't want to have to keep the top closed to avoid seeing them together ! The computer color rendering in the Mercedes configurator is not even close to the real thing and is very misleading .. Good Luck
