Help configuring! Which blue and which leather!

I finally found a dealer willing to sell at msrp, now I need to configure!

I want a blue g-wagon, but which blue should I took. The night blue seems to be something special. But i can’t find pictures, lunar blue also might be an option. What would you guys do. 6.5k is a lot for night blue...

Next up is the interior, the diamond leather looks so good. However, which color
would be best, Single tone espresso brown, single tone saddle brown or just black with bronze or blue stitching? If anyone could point me real pictures of the brown Interior, that would be great!

I used to have a 2017 GLE43 that I ordered. Was Brilliant Blue Metallic with Saddle Brown leather. Brilliant Blue is such a bright beautiful color, I highly recommend it. Unfortunately I don’t have any pics of the interior.

my G is white but i've seen brilliant blue in person. it looks very nice. i think night blue is darker (havent seen one in person yet). i guess if youre looking for a car thats closer to black, night blue would be the choice... but brilliant looks stunning on the G and really stands out from the sea of black/white/grey G wagons.

The brilliant blue has great flake in it. Looks really good in the Sun. Never seen night blue.

cant help with interior, because I hate brown interiors. Why not black with blue stitching?

I would do a unique color since I see a lot of cheaper MBs with Brilliant Blue.then again, MB also charges $6500 for Jupiter Red, which is free on other models so I guess go with what you like

The night blue is a non-metallic color I believe and is a bit darker than Brilliant Blue. It was a featured color on the Stronger than Time editions. I've seen it in person and it looks amazing - in general, I think non-metallic shiny paints and matte paints look the best on the G.

If you are torn go with the cheaper color. Interior if you are going blue outside, I would do black and yacht blue!

I agree about midnight blue. I’ve seen a number of them on the 2016-2018 and it looks really good in person and gives the G a utilitarian look. Its also a classic color popular in the 70s - 90s, really fitting on the G. I think it looks best with the dark brown leather interior or a lighter grey.

I'd personally go with the G Man. South Sea Blue , I just love the light blues.
