Is Brilliant Blue Gone?
Hi I am new to MBWorld. This past August, I saw a 2021 GLE 350 in Brilliant Blue in Delaware and it looked amazing. I am now ready to order a GLE 450, but don't see this color option anymore. Is it gone? If so would it be worth a special color order? Thanks. Rod

Brilliant Blue is no longer available for model year 2022.
It's not confirmed if it's a permanent discontinuation, or if it will return for model year 2023.

I think spectral blue is "sort of" replacing BB.
Edit: oops, looks like it isn't available for the GLE either

After having black and white cars, I will take blue over trying to maintain those colors!. YMMV.

I'm on my 5th MB with Lunar Blue. I've never had a swirl problem at all, even while using auto car washes. I do ensure that I always have a good wax on the car (ceramic on the current two.)

Yep. Seems that's so. Thanks for clarifying. That option is no longer shown on the "Build" portion of MBUSA's website. Too bad 'cause it is a beautiful option. I've had 3 vehicles with that paint color.
