what color is this?

I came across this picture in another forum and was wondering what color it is...



it looks like the chardonnay pearl from lexus. but I really like the color combination since it works with the interior trim, I checked on the MBUSA website but could not find this exterior color.

It looks really nice as well. Color combo is nice.

Actually, that's not a color offered by MB. It's what all Europe taxicabs are colored, I think.

It's a taxi. There was a thread full of pictures of European taxis a while ago.

...
plenty of Mercedes taxis in europe, especially in Paris where every other taxi is an E-class or BMW 5, I've also seen ML class taxis as well as a few S-class ones, althought the ones I saw were black, not the "taxi" colour.

I think that might be the Mystic White...EU has more interior options and may have additional exterior colors also.

It can't be Mystic white, it looks too yellowish.

probably just alabaster with bad white balance on the camera... white is hard to capture or it is MB Euro taxi white which looks like a yellowish white (almond).

I think you are seeing a color cast caused by being in the shade and slightly backlit. Any area of the image in full sun is white of somekind...I get a similar effect with images of my Alabaster White.

I'll say it again. It's an MB Euro taxi. Notice how the other taxis are the same color.

Its only german taxis that use that color. Not all here in Europe. All of the taxies in Norway (mostly bmw's, merc. and volvos) are all kinds of colors. In my local town there are over 200 taxies I think. About 80 of them are e-classes (211), 2 or 3 are s-classes (220). I always request a s-class when I order a taxi, esepecially when im drunk! But I always get a e-class or something. The s'es are 320 or 500 petrol and the e's are 200 / 220 or 270 cdi.
