I'm not surprised you're not finding anything... that's a rare and badass color.

I'm not sure what you're saying. It's not that you think the car in the original photo is Black Almandine, is it?

Black Almandine (code 182) wasn't a designo color either. You may be thinking of designo Mocha Black (code 033) that was part of the designo Espresso Edition available for the W220.

It's Almandine Black. The owner added some layers of clear coat to make it look lighter than what Almandine normally would be.

As the owner of an Almandine Black Metallic S500, I personally like to color, because it is uncommon.
