Ok. I am going to get a new S550... I am still debating on the color, Black Opal, Barolo Red, Flint Grey. What do you guys think?

Thanks!

FLINT GREY, Nothing looks better on that car

Black Opal is nice too, but I prefer the Mocha Black

xraes

2 votes for mocha, that way, you get the best looking interior too

Chucky300

hehe can I nominate Iridium Silver?

im a huge fan of

197 the good ol obsidian black
170 columbite black ... great color, dont know if its available for the 221...i know it from the 211

and of course white is just great

+1, but if you must the flint grey

I actually wanted to get the barolo red at one point. But my wife didn't like it.

But I saw a 221 in that color this week and it looks great.

If you're getting the designo upgrade, then mocha and graphite both look great. I like the graphite better than flint (personal opinion of course)

But of the three options you provided, I think the best would be black opal. I haven't seen a 221 in that color yet, but I think it will look great.

Why is no one else voting for Iridium Silver?! Its such a nice color! Clean and fresh and modern!

Barolo Red with the Darkish Brown leather interior with AMG package. I Saw one that was sold to a cusomer at Ray Catena, absolutely GORGEOUS!!!!!!

Thanks everyone....

I'm still debating on what color to get..

Black or Black Opal

My vote's for Black Opal because, admittedly, that's what I ordered!

I've seen an S550 in that colour at my dealer and that helped me make my decision, Flint Grey was my 2nd choice. Just remember though, it's actually a very dark blue...

The black opal is really beautiful. I saw it on a CLS500 and it changes color in different lightings and different angles

idk but when its dirty you can barely see it, black you always gotta clean it

black opal is gorgeous! it looks blue but its black, im also very fond of the green with premium savannah cashmere leather, such a classy color combo

I think it depends on what your doing. If you are buying the car, i recommend you get a color that will be easy to sell (i.e. i dont think barolo red will be a good idea). If you are looking to lease it, get any color you want. Are you getting amg package? I can tell you which color i think will match your car if you are getting that option.

The green with savannah leather reminds me of the Limo fleet of The Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong.

Im not getting the AMG kit because I will be putting on the A_R_T body kit. I will be leasing the car, but I will buy it out at the end of the lease.

If I were in your shoes, I would want to see those colors on the car, not just a color chip. If you end up not liking what you order, you are stuck with it. Well, not really. You could refuse the car and if it wasn't some saleproof combination (red with blue interior, for example) your dealer would probably let you reorder. Maybe.

Your salesman can check dealer inventories in your area for colors you are interested in on cars in stock and you could take a day and look at all of them. A bit of driving but worth it to avoid buyer's remorse.

Thanks. I'm going to be looking around at all the colors again, just to make sure.

I have 221 in Siver it really suits the design of the car. Somehow the 221 in Silver does not show the design of the car at it's best.

I am getting the 221 at the end of the year, i have decided on Obsidian Black which seems to be the new Silver in the UK. In London there are lots of 221's in all colours and the one that looks the best is the Obsidian with the AMG sports pack. I may be a bit biased as i do have a W202 C43 AMG in the same colour.

RAY CATENA is THE MAN


my vote is for opal or mocha...or how about something like this...Capri Blue (reelestates')

That S550 in Capri Blue is really nice.

That's the combo I went with, Obsidian with the AMG pack. So far I'm thrilled with the look. Personally, I think the AMG appearance on the 221 looks great in the darkest colors (flint, graphite, mocha, black, obsidian, black opal) OR the whites.

OTOH, for some reason I prefer the 220 in the lighter colors, (but not necessarily white) especially with the appearance package.


But, let's be honest, the 221 is still a great looking car in any color.
