What color is this?
What color is this and does anyone have any better/bigger pics of a S500/550 with this color?

This looks like andorite grey to me. It is like silver only a little darker and has a rich tone to it. I have had silver cars for years and ordered this color on my current car because I was tired of silver and it was everywhere. I am very happy with it. Hope this helps.

I thought it was Cubanite but you must be right, the brown should be coming from the surroundings.

Andorite grey is also called "Violet nuovo" in some documents because it has a bit of violet colour too at some angles.

In that case I was wrong about being wrong. I guess it could be worse.
