Question Color question

Considering new E350 sedan w/ sport, P2, loaded. Want the black leather interior and the greenish gray paint. Is that the granite gray or flint gray. One is more charcoal, and darker while the other is lighter and has a greenish cast to it. Any pics would be great, too. Thanks.

Seems like Granite Grey has the greenish cast to it.

Thanks to both for the replies. I believe it's the Granite grey we're looking for, but I will see in person before we sign. I'll be sure to post pics when it finally comes.

I ordered a granite. I've seen it on a CLS & an 06 E350. I like it. (I LOVE Pewter, but have been there, done that & need a different color combo to feel like I'm in something new.)

Granite Grey is very much like granite; it changes shades and hues slightly in different light. I suppose there is some green in it.

Flint Grey is a very standard charcoal grey, darker than Granite Grey.

Tectite Grey is a very dark grey, darker than Flint, but not currently available (it has been available on the W211 E-class in previous years, however).

I tend to think of flint as having a fair amount of blue to it....not as obvious as platinum blue, but bluish nonetheless
