Designo Espresso Brown on black car? Compared to GL Auburn Brown?
I have a GL550 - I think the interior is called Auburn brown.. We are looking to order a GLS550 but there are no leather samples at the dealership. My spouse is in design and wants to see the color.
Does anyone have a Designo Espresso Brown with Black car?
What trim did you get?
How do you like it?

GLS550 Designo Esresso Brown with Selenite exterior. Majority of options with exception of B&O and night package.
Love the combination, many many compliments on the look of both interior and exterior.

In the GPS I find it a bit challenging. Brown seats, brown dash, brown carpet, brown door cards...it's too much for my tastes. Your better half may agree the brown tint is a bit lifeless and there's not enough contrast.

Couple images of interior and one exterior of GLS550 in selenite with designo espresso brown interior. I had a hard time finding one to view before ordering, if there are any specifics you would like to see just let me know.

Maybe a black interior with some brown accents?

Those pictures look nice! I don't think it's too much.
I just wish I could get a good color sample. I am surprised MB dealerships don't have samples.
I have Auburn Brown leather now, I like it ok. I think I'd like the Espresso, especially in Napa, better.

Regardless if you decide on Espresso Brown, Black, or Porcelain, the key is the designo leather. It is very soft to the touch and smells great. I know many owners go for the black on black but any of the three will look great with a black exterior.
Post some pics when it arrives.

I went to a different dealership that had a black 450 with the designo brown and it was nice.
It also had a white headliner. While it looked nice, we would prefer black with a black car with night package. When we build online, it is black.
Does anyone know if black is an option?

If you custom build, then yes, you get a choice for selecting headliner colors.
Make sure to override the default (if the default isn't the one you want) and put your own selection in the spec sheet.
E.g. we had grey as default and chose black headliner instead.

I'm told you can't override the Porcelain headliner with the Designo Espresso brown.

Not likely what you want to hear, but the white alcantara (or whatever MB calls it) is a massive upgrade to the standard in texture and appearance.
Good luck with your choices, we're all looking forward to hearing your final decisions.

Correct, with the Designo brown you have the choice of white or white. We really did not like the white before owning, however very quickly we have come to greatly like it.

1. White negating the night out affect.
2. White appearing dirty or aging color change over time.
Is there any experience to how the white ages?
