New Color

I see from the new "build your own" MBUSA page that Platinum Blue and Granite Grey are gone; there is a new color Indium Silver Metallic. Has anyone seen it?

They also kept Jade Green. I saw one green w211 in Germany but never one here. Is green making a comeback?

That color 775 is also on the 06 & 07's. It is very similar if not exact to the 774 Brilliant Silver of the past.

775 is Iridium Silver Metallic, and is very different than the old Brilliant Silver Metallic. I discovered this when I parked my car next to an older brilliant silver car. Anyway, the OP is talking about a different color, which is called Indium Grey Metallic. The MBUSA website (incorrectly) lists it as silver on the E350, but the "build your own" section on the website for the E550 and CLS550 both call it Indium Grey Metallic.

A few pics of my '07 in Indium Grey for reference. It's the same color as the CLS were already available in, so you might have more luck finding it on one of those models if you want to see it in person.

Still loving this color and you don't see it too often

Ooops. I was reminded by PM that Bayerische concerns and Swabian loyalties would require dark green. Perhaps our German members could comment.
