What is this color???
I was looking at the online Operating manual for the 2010 S550 and noticed this color on the cover. I wonder what color this is? Any feedback. Thanks.

Yes that's probably what it is or very close. It's funny they would have that particular color on the cover of manual but very limited to actual real life availability. Thanks.

It's a cool unique color, but I'm not taking it over white. Kinda reminds me of the burgundy color Gallardo, which actually looks great, (meanings a unique color that shows off the lines great) but I just would have a Lambo in that color.

I like it though:

I've always thought the MB burgundy was the nicest color on a S-Class....but the brown looks nice.

The beige is meh on the Benz.

And here we ONLY see SILVER and a few black ones. I Think I have seen 1-2 White ones since the model was launched in 2006.

I saw this color on a model on display at a hotel in Germany once. It is absolutely beautiful in person. Deep, rich and luxurious.

Here’s my Blue one
It looks like a Royal Blue being it’s tends to have a purple tint to it when the sun hits it just right.
since Mercedes has a factory tint that’s very light almost unable to tell, it has a blue tint to it so as you’ve probably seen on most Mercedes that have tinted windows, it has a blue color to it and it just matches this car so well I think.

My Black one
I decided to go flashy on this one..lol. This car was brought over from Europe and I couldn’t help it only because I wanted to own something different from all of the others here in the states and the right side steering made it different for sure.
