Colours?

Is the Us colour Pewter Metallic the same as what elsewhere in the world is called Cubanite Silver (723)?

Thanks in advance, Terry

Yes, and it's maybe the best color for the ML.

Colors EU><US

Hi Terry,

Here's a non-exhaustive color "dictionary" - first the code, then the German, then the US name:

040 > Schwarz > Black
960 > Alabasterweiss > Alabaster White
197 > Obsidianschwarz > Obsidian Black Metallic
359 > Tansanitblau > Capri Blue Metallic
723 > Cubanitsilber > Pewter Metallic
775 > Iridiumsilber > Iridium Silver Metallic
544 > Carneolrot > Barolo Red Metallic
693 > Travertinbeige > Desert Silver Metallic
816 > Andraditgrün > Verde Brook Metallic
349 > Lasuritblau > Alpine Rain


Hope this helps you.

Kind regards,
Birger

Hi everybody,

I'm new here and I want to buy a ML in 2006/2007.
Has anybody pictures of his ML in Capri Blue Metallic
or this Verde Brook (Everest Green?)?
Usually I like blue or green (metallic) cars but I have
never seen a (new) ML in green or blue.

This one is Capri Blue Metallic on top and Everest Green on the bottom.

In Italian "Blu tanzanite" and "Verde andradite".

Colors (again)

Hi, everyone, and especially Wolfgang, the MercedesDriver

Very nice, the W164 "bicolore" - though it looks a bit as if it's been to close to someone losing their coolant fluid

Of course you're right - color 816 is the one called Andradit**** in Europe and Everest Green in the US.

Whatever the US color Verde Brook corresponds to remains a puzzle, as I can't yet find anyting like it on the European sites at the moment, but this is what it looks like on the Canadian site:


and as a comparison, here's what the Everest Green looks like:


Cheers,

Thank you!!!
I think my ML will be a Capri blue one!!
Hopefully I will see one "life" during the next months.
I would prefer a dark colour but not black and
a lighter interior.

Kind regards from Germany/ Mecklenburg!

And you chose the right color. The Capri Blue on my W163 is awesome. At some angles it looks black, darkb lue, medium-dark blue. I love this color. It changes with the amount of light and the angle of which you look at it.
