Brilliant blue or emerald are both nice, to me it really depends on how you spec it (wheels interior) etc.

brilliant blue on saddle is the one I would do of the three.

I also wanted to avoid Black interior. I went saddle and am looking forward to it. Looks great in the videos

Green with saddle leather is beautiful, as is Blue. Desert sand to me is :-O #neverever LOL

I have the bright, Classic Red nappa leather in my G63 (diamond stitch) and I had the classic Red in my G550. My FAV for sure!!

I would do a brilliant blue with a porcelaine interior what sucks is that you can’t have it without that expresso brown. Would be nice to have porcelaine with black and carbon touches, especially on that blue. But to do a brown interior I’d rather go with the green, that’s just my opinion. I agree with getting the night pack.

Why do a few of you say you're wanting to avoid black seats? Are they too hot in the summer or is it just the color? What about the platinum and black combo? Trying to decide what color seats and am running short on time.

I like black seats - only because I get excited about other colors, particularly red, but then 6mo go by and I want another color. For me black is just neutral and stays clean. I have no regrets. But I do LOVE LOVE LOVE blue color with the brown interiors. So crisp!

black is timeless. But my last five cars all had black interior. This G63 is the top vehicle I will have owned, so wanted it to feel different for myself

Has anyone seen a real picture (outside of showroom lighting or magazine/pro pic) of the Emerald Green G?

I was interested in it but it seemed just a little too dark from what I could gather of the color on other Mercedes. As if most of the time, it just looked black.

Would love to have someone post theirs on here.

I don't think Emerald green is too green at all. I was at the dealer last week and was shocked at how dark it was - from a distance I thought it was black and even up close the green was only apparent when reflected by light. Granted this was in a showroom, so obviously colors change, but it didn't look anything like the pictures I'd seen of it. I think it would look great with the Saddle or Tan interior.
