Interior and Wood Colors

I'm looking for some parts online and I'm starting to get confused about some colors.

I always thought that my wood was called Birdseye Maple, but I saw it called Anthracite Grey somewhere.

I am also having the same confusion about my interior color. It's the light grey color and I always thought it was called Stone. I also see a light grey colored interior called Alpaca Grey.

Can someone show me the differences so I know what I have?

The black wood is called Birdseye maple. The leather is called anthracite grey.

Thank you. That clears up one of my questions. I was right about Birdseye Maple being the grey colored wood. I guess the person that was referring to the wood as Anthracite Grey was actually wrong. So Anthracite Grey is actually a leather color, and not wood.

Now I'm just confused about the color difference between Stone and Alpaca Grey. What are the differences between these two? Is Stone actually the official name of the beige color?

Stone is a definitely yellow-ish cast tan color and refers to the seat/dash/door panel color. (Available thru MY 2006)

Ash is the gray color leather or MB Tex color in the same places.

Birds Eye Maple is the black wood color that was automatically substituted for the brown wood on Sport versions of the E class (Visible dual exhaust tips, Staggered wheel sizes, different fog lights & Blue tinted glass) until late fall 2006, when you were allowed to order a Sport with the brown wood if you wanted.

Thank you, that helps out a lot. Do you know what Alpaca Grey is?
