Granite Grey is not what you think.. pretty feminine in the light. Has pearlecent green and blue undertones. Hardly grey, unless in dim light. Interesting color tho.

I wouldn't order it.

I saw it at the auto show on the S class, it looked good. I prefer light colors, lighter colored cars get into less accidents statistically.

Tectite Grey is going to be replaced by Flint Grey (anyone have pics of this color?). Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanking everyone for all your help. Based on the responses we have eliminated Midnight Blue/Stone.

We are down to White/Charcoal, Black/Ash, and White/Ash in that order. Ash is in the running because we like the contrast from the two different shades of grey and the medium dark wood shows up better (in our opinion) against the lighter grey.

Charcoal Interior
Pro
Formal Look
Easy Maintenance

Cons
Monochromatic
Hotter when parked under the sun


Ash Interior
Pros
Contrasting colors
Match with wood
Third consecutive grey interior (I guess we like grey)

Cons


Stone Interior
Pros
Only interior color with color
Beige hue highlights wood
Sophisticated country look

Cons
High maintenance

Don't forget you're not limited to just E-class colors. For a slight upcharge you can get any current Mercedes paint color.
