Grey Interior

I am somewhat confused as to how the grey interior looks on the S550s.

On some threads it looks close to what the Ash interior used to look, on others it looks very dark.

For instance:
In one thread (The S550 in Andorite Grey) it looks dark grey (first picture). Yet, the ones shown in this other thread (I got the car!) is much ligher (second and third image)

Have you seen the S550 grey interior in person? What does it look like? Is the first picture Charcoal?

Thanks.

It's all in the lighting. I had a Ash E320 and it was lighter than the current Grey in the new S.

The first image is Grey, not charcoal...there is no charcoal for the S, only Black. I would say the new S Grey is darker than it looks in the the lower images but not as dark as in the first one. Really the only way to get an accurate look is to go to the dealer and check one out. I have seen the grey interior on a new S and it is a deeper real grey than Ash.

Sorry I can't be more specific.

Thanks. I am waiting for the dealer to call me when a S550 gets in with Grey interior. So far all they've received (and I've seen) are Savanna/Cashmere and black interiors.

This may be closer to the real grey color...

The first pick is certainly nothing other than black. The others are grey. It is darker than ash from the 220.

If you are saying the first picture posted is Black, it is not. That is the grey interior but the lighting makes it appear almost charcoal. Black is black throughout.

Jack, at first I too thought it was grey and the lighting was making it darker, but then I saw that same picture described as black interior for one of the AMG S550s that Glauser has in their site (per your previously posted link: http://glauser-mercedes.ebizautos.co...550/AMG-Sport/)

You may be right but these two shots are from the same page and they are Black...no doubt about it. Look at the phone cover and arm rest in the above images...they are not Black. ????? The demo I drove was Black interior and it was black everywhere...no two-tone. The Grey I saw ready for delivery was two-tone grey but the lighter grey was darker than the old Ash.

Then again, I saw the same picture in another web page at Glauser's auctions, described as grey. (they seem to have mixed the pictures)

I am thinking that depending on lighting conditions it can be one or the other.

I'll stop by the dealer tomorrow to check a couple of interiors, if I remmeber to take pictures I'll post them here.
