Hi, new member Tom R here from SW FL.
Car is 2003 500SL. Owned since 2013. Enjoyed the forum as a guest and decided it might be good to finally join.
will be searching forums to get information about an age old quest about interior leather colors. Need to do some leather refinish and the color codes are “challenging “
Tom, Welcome to the forums with an official account first off. If you'd like to PM me your vin #. I'll be more than happy to pull that up in my Parts Catalog and see what leather codes you might have.

Thanks Matt,
Appreciate the offer. I’ve spent a bunch of time trying to match leather dye that is available to my SL colors. Research shows different fitment patterns,& colors that vary by model and year, it’s like playing a dungeon & dragons game. My vin .shows my interior is leather with a 205A code for beige.
Followed up with two dealers. First said seats are 8J14 for pebble. And the trim I’m trying to match (flaps on the opening for top) is 8J10 for stone.Second version I got was seats are stone and trim is dark stone. The leather dye providers do show stone & dark stone. But I sure would like to get it right when ordering.
My vin # is WDBSK75F73F021341.
Once again, thanks for the welcome & offer to help. Much appreciated
