My New ML - Not Enough Citrine Brown & Almond Beige Love
 
I just picked up my Citrine Brown with Almond Beige leather '14 ML350 gas yesterday.
I would have never thought of choosing if it wasn't for a dealer demo in the showroom. I had walked in wanting a different combination, but saw the demo vehicle and it just looked amazing.
It's an odd paint & interior combination that most people would never choose, but I'm so glad I ordered it!
Especially at night the ambient lighting reflects against the Almond beige and makes the car feel like a million bucks.
The color is really hard to photograph correctly in daylight, but it looks best in pictures under fluorescent lighting.

The backup camera module looks to be new too if I remember correctly. It closes up into the trunk when it's not in use to keep it clean.

Here come the pics.....

Very beautiful! I don't think I have ever seen one that color in person.

Love the colour! My last ML was also a unique choice, peridot brown which was a nice green/brown hue. Everywhere I went I got compliments on it.

Enjoy your unique ride and be prepared for compliments!

What are the floor mats you have on the garage floor?

Parking mats to catch the snow melt off in the winter time. Only problem is that the water pools up fast, so you have to shop vac the water every 2 days. It's inconvenient but it's better than having the water mess up the garage floor.

Brand? Where did you get them? My garage has a small slope to the door but I would think about getting these.

The slope towards the garage door might be an issue. If you look at my pictures, my garage is very slightly sloped towards the center drain, and that's the edge of the mat where the water pools up.

Nice point about the camera in the back. I didn't know it folded in. Congrats on the vehicle too. Like that color a lot.

LitiGATOR 10-20-2013 09:35 PM

Gorgeous car. How do we change the color of the ambient lighting?

Nanook 10-20-2013 09:43 PM

Done from steering wheel controls.... via setting->lights->ambient light settings (I think by memory)

LitiGATOR 10-20-2013 10:55 PM

I must not have that option, don't see that on the "lights" menu.

Nanook 10-20-2013 11:13 PM

Yup that's how mine is..just checked

stas2007 10-21-2013 09:11 AM

Great color, btw do you have 360 camera?

EVOII_Racer 10-21-2013 10:07 AM

I believe that is the heated/cooled cupholders. Blue for cooling, red for heating

galion 10-21-2013 12:42 PM

One of my favorites.

It's just not a color that's often talked about on the forums =)

Beautiful combination. I think you don't see many in the dealer inventory, so not many people see how nicely it brings out the ML's lines. It also really pops the chrome. One of my co-workers has one with chrome wheels and it really looks sweet on a sunny day.

Cyber GS 10-21-2013 04:16 PM

Beautiful ML, love the color.. Congrats

LazKat 10-21-2013 07:00 PM

Very nice!

What's the front camera on the lower grill?

balticgreen 10-21-2013 07:54 PM

We don't have "Citrine Brown" in the US but it looks similar to our Dolomite Brown. Are they the same color with different names for different markets, or are they actually different colors?
