GLB rose gold metallic color paint?

Hey guys, what do you think of this color?

I am thinking about getting it. Because I cant get this color in any other 7 seaters...

Are you a woman? Then it's OK. Reminds me of one of those Mary K. giveaway cars.

Mary K caddy’s were pink. We have one in the neighborhood. I happily drove blue/white tutone cars when they were free.

As fas as paint colors, it’s your car, so get what you like. But be aware that anything except black, white, or silver on a Mercedes could slightly lower its resale. That might not affect a GLB all that much, but red on sedans and green on coupes made a noticeable difference.

Look at what GLBs the dealers order for stock — white, black, silver, and a few blues.

I initially ordered this for the EQB, but my dealer was pretty quiet taking the order and when the reviews came in that it “looks decidedly pink” in certain lights, we were out.

my wife thought I was crazy (initially) but my boss who is extravagant in luxury likes it

I went w denim blue

I haven't seen that color in person. It looks more Gold from online photos but I would definitely see it first.

As someone else mentioned, it's going to be hard to get rid of as you'll take a hit for that color. If you have a sentimental reason for that color type you'd be better off getting a common color and doing a wrap.

it definitely has pink undertones, and is certainly a feminine color. I can almost smell the perfume when I see a Rose Gold Mercedes. (Mostly see GLA's this color)

I put this together for you to help your visual perspective regardless of whatever display device you are looking at. On the left, is Gold. On the right, is Rose Gold. You never answered my question, are you a woman?

Hmm, maybe I should get a 2nd hand GLB or EQB in rose gold

I am just afraid that the dealer will say this is a special color and charge me more

Hi I am not. I drive a Emerald Green GLS.

However, we need another backup 7 seater and there are members in the family who would drive the GLB/EQB

It is more or less a direct quote from a video review of the car from a dealer in Atlanta Georgia

it looks gold in certain lights and it looks pink in others

A lot of MB colors are like that....

I had a capri blue C32. In the dark it looks black, in low/med light it looks dark blue. In direction sunlight it looked purple.

My GLB in galaxy blue metallic is almost the opposite. in low/med light it looks dark blue and maybe a little on the purple side. In direct sunlight it looks bright blue.

Hi I've decided to get an off lease GLB in rose gold (not in a rush)

Do you see a lot of these color from model year 2021? Or it really started in my 2022?

I have never seen a rose gold GLB on the road even in NYC. 99% are either white or black.

It looks like it started in 2022. Cargurus shows 2 used ones (2022) in Manhattan & New Rochelle (loaner vehicle):

They have one at my local dealer. I noticed it from the road driving by today. To my eye, I would describe as more copper colored than pink or rose.

The lighting does change things for sure. Overcast vs sunny, it will look different, this particular colour.

I almost ordered rose gold and my wife and salesman had this look on their faces like “WHAT?” So crisis averted. The rose gold is elegant on paper but day to day it’s pink too often.

It is not for everyone and it does stand out when it is sunny, a very unique colour with a very unique personality.
