As far as I know, yours is not burl walnut (dark brown) and doesn't seem to be chestnut (light brown). Most likely is eucalyptus as '02S430' says. Ask your MB workshop to ensure, but I think there are no more common wood colours.

Im not sure. From pictures it looks a bit silly, but I think it might look nice in person.

I was pretty sure mine was eucalyptus, but I feel like I read somewhere that its something else.

Either way, I'm not sure it would match.

Thanks guys, really very pleased with it.

Designo AMG
The Designo expresso edition came with mocha black metallic exterior with light brown nappa leather with natural elm wood. Not sure if all years were the same. Anyone have a brochure for the different model years?

Thank you. It looks better in the pictures than it does in real life. It sits outside and goes into NYC often, so it has its battle scars.

i do detail it myself...the ceramic clear is hard as hell. I use a PC full blast with meguiars ultimate products. turns out nicely.

hey guys just called the dealership and got paint code 744 and interior code 261?

after some quick searching, i found the 744 is brilliant silver and 261 is leather black or "anthracite" weird name, dated back in the 70s??

"Anthracite" ~combination of Anthrax, Pesticide and Kryptonite;
also known as - "leather that keeps superman and his pests away"
