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!

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.

I have Iridium Silver with Dark Grey interior. Best color combination is Palladium Silver with Cashmere interior.

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.

This thread is literally an evergreen one but for me the best color is black although I must say I prefer diamond silver
