I agree!! Thats what I have! Never quite saw the "black" in the Black Opal but I get compliments on it all the time. Kind of changes in the light with blues and greens and greys....

What about the Dark Green color (it looks black from a distance)! Does anyone have experience with this unique color on S550, 2015. What would be a good matching interior? Appreciate your feedback!

That is awesome. I particularly like the piano black contrast interior.

I like most colors but prefer a contrasting interior color....mine is white/cashmere.

I'd love to have a black one with the same interior as above.

My favorite as well. It's a Designo option called "Porcelain" with what looks like Black Ash trim (could be Piano Black) and while you do see it occasionally on a 221 it's actually a common interior on the CL. The only downside is that clothes and jeans especially transfer dye to the seats, and they show wear pretty easily. I wouldn't turn one down but I wouldn't hunt one down either. I'm obsessive about the interior and light ones drive me crazy trying to keep them fresh. Black, while a bit dour and oppressive, is a miraculous dirt and wear hider.

Best color combo? Well that would be black on black of course. It's a Benz S-class for Christ sake.....the car of world leaders and diplomats....and always black.

Well that's true. But it doesn't change the fact that their S-classes are always black on black.


Black is by far the best color when it's clean. The problem is keeping it looking clean.

Black on black is a reminder of a cab around my parts. Lots of livery companies drive those around here.

I absolutely love my white SClass with pano-roof, but that "Mauritius Blue" color looks exotic!
