How do I find info about W140 colors?
I'm just wondering where/how I can get information on the colors that Mercedes offered on the W140 sedans. I saw this 500 SEL today that looked like a desert silver...yet didn't. And obviously the colors were different, so it wouldn't have been and wouldn't have been called desert silver anyway.
Can anyone help me? TIA!

the best way would be to get your hands on a brochure. They always have the colour availability chart in the back.
I'm guessing the car you saw was Smoke Silver, kinda browny goldy silver if your know what i mean...smoke says it all i guess

On the road, you can distinguish the earliest W140's by the fact that they have numbers first, then letters (i.e. 300SE) in the designation and 8-hole alloy wheels. In 1994, the designation was reversed on all models (i.e. S320). New 6-spoke polished alloy wheels arrived in 1997. This info pertains to the U.S.
