I am thinking hard on getting a color completely different from the black or white I normally get. I have only found a couple photos of the desert sand. And the configurator is not near enough a match to the actual photos I have found. I would like some feedback if anyone likes or dislikes the color, and for what reasons. Photos of your G in desert sand would be a plus. It seems to me it would be a pretty good color to hide the dust, compared to the dark colors or even the black one I had. I live in a dusty environment. So maybe this is the color for me.

Thanks

I did find a few photos finally but I think I have lost interest.

I was looking at it initially but it reminded me of baby poop, and I do not even have kids. Desert Silver looked better though and it is metallic so that is what I got and every day I see it I am glad I did...I'll get some good pics one of these days:

HI Bob,
I like the desert silver color. I agree on the desert sand, and I am not digging it at all now. I would not be happy grabbing the keys in the morning to hop into the BP mobile.
Thanks for the reply

Desert Sand is TOO much for me.

Desert Silver looks much more tamer and albeit nicer.

I now agree 100 percent on that.

Here are a few more Desert Silver pics from when it arrived at the dealer, which I try not to show since I have done so much to it since that time!

Nice color, thanks for showing Bob. The wheels look great on that color.

I went down a similar path when ordering my 21’ G63.
Really thought an army tone was appropriate for this truck, and I love the Desert Sand colour of some of the tactical gear I have so thought this was a no-brainer.
Unfortunately the internet photos of this colour differ so greatly (from mustard yellow/baby poo to a proper army tan) it was impossible to determine what the actual truck would look like without laying my own eyes on the colour.
Not having seen one in person I tried to get my local dealer to order a colour chip, however was unsuccessful. You would think Mercedes would happily provide a sample to promote a premium “upgraded” paint job ($$$).
Instead, I had a body shop paint a used fender I had kicking around in Mercedes Desert Sand, and left it in the sideyard outside of my home office so I could look at it in varying degrees of natural light (sun, overcast, low light, etc.).
the conclusion was the even thought I really wanted to love the colour and have an army-tan G wagon, the colour was simply terrible.
Way too yellow, and glossy.
In the end I switched to Dark Olive Magno, and couldn’t be happier with the colour. It’s literally a PERFECT tone for the G.
Good luck with your order.

Great info and thanks for your post and the photos. I have my color in my head and it is white lol. I actually like the clean look and with the black appointments will be cool. (:

Yeah my SA said this color is overrated even though the paint name seems like a perfect match with the gwagon

If it were more sand colored, then maybe for me. I am sticking with white. I might put the paint upgrade I am not getting into the interior instead. I traded my car for a 2022 G63, so I will see if any colors change when the build sheets come out. But I like white. Great color for the NE dust, and being OCD it is a good clean look for me (:
