Citrine Brown (Dakota Brown) opinion

Hey guys, just to know everyones opinion on this new color called Citrine Brown or Dakota brown in America, I am always a white or silver guy, but this color looks very elegant to me, not quite sure if its a good idea to pull the trigger with this ML350 which is loaded and ready for delivery, no white or silvers on the lot.
Please honest opinions on this one.
I am looking for feedback in the "other" forum as well.
Thanks in advance.

I saw this color in person on an ML and it's stunning. It's certainly something different, but then again I've always been a "different" kind of guy. (I hate black (non metallic basic black), white (non metallic basic white), and silver cars because the color is so boring!)

Dare to be different! I like it; similar to Audi's Teak Brown. White, silver and black are way too common (disclosure, I have white on order!).

I think that's a really great color. I see lots of new ML on the road, but none in brown so far (I have black).

I bet it would look great with the brown interior and MB Tex dash.

Thanks guys, I appreciate your feedback.
I just pulled the trigger on this one, Even though its not my favorite color, I like the contrast with the extensive chrome trim, looks so classy and elegant, black or any other dark color would be a great choice too.
I will enjoy it until next year when the AMG exterior Package is avaliable in our market, I wil order a white with 21" wheels, sexy!

That color looks pretty neat in the picture. To tell you the truth, I don't think I have ever seen one in person on the road or even on any dealer's lot. I just picked mine up a couple days ago in Diamond White and it is stunning, however, there are a lot of them around so I have not even bothered to post a picture (although I might if we ever get some sun out here!). Enjoy the ride and be sure to post more pictures as I would like to see that color from different angles.

Double Brown that's the way I ordered mine. Citrine is awesome multi-color as the light changes near black at night. And its so odd MB does not even recommend it. Seems many new benz owners want color these days

Same for us: we're double brown fans. We've ordered a MY13 ml350 BT in Dakota Brown with Auburn Brn/Black leather. Now if we could just get a reasonable build date

2013 ML BLUETEC JULY 31
Have you folks down there confirmed what I saw in your order guide that US BlueTecs dont start builds till Oct but the two wheel drives will start in June/july?
Someone should confirm this it will make the date make more sense for a few of you nice folks there. We dont get the two wheel drive but about 90% of ours are bluetecs. our builds start in June/july
