I assume it's the same as Jade Green on the USA-spec version. And no, I've never seen a GLK in that color. In fact, I don't think I've ever seen any M-B in green. Maybe not a very popular color?
That notwithstanding, I have gray leather in mine and I don't think it would coordinate very well with a metallic green exterior.
A bit off topic but I remember a University of Auckland (New Zealand) study a few years ago which looked at vehicle colors and accident rates. Drivers of brown cars had the highest risk of sustaining serious injuries caused by auto accidents followed by black and green colored cars. But the study admitted it was impossible to isolate human factors from the research, i.e., maybe there's a correlation between people who like brown, black or green cars and their (lack of) defensive driving skills which skewed the results. Obviously not pointing specifically at the OP, just making an observation.

I saw a sliver-green colored GLK when i picked up my delivery in the dealer. I think this color will be more suitable for cars like vw beetle. Black and white are my favorite for GLK. But again, color is very personal and subjective.

I saw this one with beige/wood interiror. Didn't look bad at all, just matter of preferrence.
I just don't like green cars or this new wood in GLK, which looks like plastic (you can see your reflection in it).

Its Jade Green in the U.S. market and its a dark green. Looks very nice with either black or beige interior with wood trim, but I would steer clear of the grey. I have grey in my C class and for some reason it turns black more easily than the beige in my R. Going with black or beige would also give you the choice of saving the $1k on leather and getting MB Tex for no charge.
