Magma Grey Leather Question

I want to order a black on black GLE with Nappa leather. My 2 choices for the leather are black Nappa leather or Magma grey/black Nappa with diamond stitching. Can anyone tell me if the Magma grey option is a dark grey/charcoal. It looks to be very dark on the online configurator (which is what I want) plus I like the diamond stitching.

Thanks.

Takea look in the interior photos sticky thread, I posted some photos there a few months ago.

Thanks tommyr. From your photos in the interior photos sticky thread it looks like it is more of a grey leather color than charcoal/black. Therefore, I will go with the black exclusive Nappa leather.

That's how I would describe it. I think the seating area is gray, sooner trim areas are black.

I don’t think either option has Diamond stitching. The Magma gray has a quilted stitching (large squares).

It is described as Magma grey with diamond stitching in the order guide (see above). l am referring to the 53 AMG SUV not the 350/450.

Im not sure if you ordered the car yet. But we picked up my wife’s yesterday in the magna grey. It’s really nice! We were nervous but zero regrets. I’ll take a picture tmw in the light if you want.

Thanks for offering to take a picture of the Magma grey leather seats. I have an order in for a GLE 53 SUV with black Nappa leather. The dealershipship couldn't assure me that the Magma grey was dark grey/charcoal rather than some kind of lighter grey. I am getting a black exterior so I didn't want the Magma grey interior unless it is at least as dark as a charcoal grey color. The pictures of the Magma grey interior I have seen on this forum are not what I want.

I have the napa magma grey interior in my 450 (photos in interior stickie thread) and I would not call it a dark grey. Now I'm not sure if the material in the 53 is the same, so that's your call. My vehicle is silver, and I love the combo. But if you want dark, I think you could be disappointed.

They are essentially two tone. The gray part is pretty dark. I think it's Davy's Grey (https://www.schemecolor.com/magma-gray-colors.php) for what it's worth. I've got the magma grey/black performance seats with yellow accents/stitching in my C63S and they look phenomenal in person. Here are a couple of pics. The first one is under artifical light in my garage and it's a bit fade. The yellow really pops in person against the grey and black. The grey part is basically a few shades lighter than the black, but still pretty dark.
