Whilst cruzing my white '89 300se I came across a w220 430, AMG trim package and so on, parked with an amazing paint color. It wasnt so wild a color that it must be a factory color. A teal-ish/seafoam blue?/kinda green. I asked my local dealer and they couldnt find there *** in the dark! And the googles gave me nothing!

If you know the color or know where I might find an anwser please let me know! I want "Betty White" to assume an new persona since Ive brought her back to life. In short, I want that color!

Thanks

Ryan

Horizon Blue Metallic or Granite Grey is what I'm thinking of since they can both look teal in certain lighting, but I don't believe I'm correct since they can also look grey or silver sometimes.

The only other green I could think of is Everest Green which is not even close to your description.

You might try going to an auto paint store - they have color charts for virtually every production vehicle.

I went by a Macco today and they had nine million colors to choose. Nothing in the w220 model years looks like what I saw. I guess its a really low key custom color. They made a great choice though! If I catch it again Ill get a picture and post it. The color really rolled with the line of the car!

Maybe it gunmetal gray or titanium gray.

If you spot the car again, copy down the vin# and log in to online EPC to check the "DATA CARD" which will give you the factory color name and color code the car was delivered with. The "DATA CARD" also shows how the car is equipped from the factory. This is very valuable information for a purchase as well.

Thanks for the help everyone! I spoted the car again and left a note with my number on it. The owner called laughing because it wasnt the first time he had been asked for the color.

It is a custom color baised off of a color he liked in his favorite neck tie....one day Ill be rich too and color match my clothes to my cars.

Please take a pic of the car and post it

I quite like my horizon blue - looks just like the sky
