Capri Blue

My old man is getting a 350 4M, but unsure on color. One color of interest is Capri Blue. Please post some pics of this color, so I can get a good look at it. Danke!

I don't have quick pic but if you like a subtle dark tasteful color this to my eyes is stunning. I tried to order my Cl in this color but the only one available in the US at the time lacked the options I required. MB of Manhattan should have color chips.
Sehr schon!

Until someone posts a picture of their own car in Capri Blue, here's a couple. Hope the links work. This is the first I've attempted to post links on this forum.

As you can see (I hope), different renderings can make the same color appear rather different. Always best to view the color in person and actually on a car of the model of interest.

Thanks Benz man, i actually did the site configuration already and don't really trust it. I was hoping to see actual pics of members cars to get a quick better idea. Dealership isn't too conveinent to pop into quickly to check out the color. It's in midtown Manhattan. I actually make all the dealings, etc on the phone and then they deliver the cars to my house.

OK. I'm sure someone will provide pix of their actual vehicle here.

I did see a CLK430 in Capri Blue in my dealer's showroom a couple of years ago and thought it looked good, at least on that particular car, which was a cab. with ash interior and black top. It had a kind of rich depth to it. Have never seen it on a larger car like an E, except in pix.

I have a 2010 E350 4matic in Capri Blue. I wanted to get a different color than what I see in my neighborhood, a lot of white, black, and silver vehicles. I love the color, it changes depending on the lighting. I wax my car at least once a month, what a shine! Your father will love the color.
