Well as many of you may remember my 2011 Black S550 was total in an accident in Dec 2015. Well great news I just picked up my new ride. It's 2013 Green S550 4Matic. But the color is really funky... I have never seen one this color before. In bright sun light it looks bronze with gold fleeks.
Guys, I got a really great on this car, sold 2013 for 55k, 7600 miles.. Tan interior, sun screens on all the back windows... It has distronic +, I must say that all the new features are amazing. I will take more pics soon as I can...
According to the Vin paint code this color is called Peridot Brown. Currently it's not listed in Mercedes featured paint offerings. Also this color has been around with different companies since the 50's.

Peridot.....like my birthstone. The reason I went with the September birthstone on my class ring back in HS (sapphire). Although I don't think I've worn it once in the 33+ years I've owned it.
I'm looking forward to a lot more pictures of your car so I can begin to appreciate the color.
Congratulations! That's an awesome buy. Black Mercedes' are cliche anyway.
Nothing looks better than a black S-class after it's freshly shined. Not white, silver, purple, red, green, or any other color. That's just the way it is, always has been, and always will be.

That's why I passed up 2 good deal silvers until I found black on black.
They photograph beautifully. Mine looks like the photos about 5% of the time. If you want to keep a black car looking its best, you almost become a slave to it. Love black interiors though. So easy to keep up.

Reason: Big Pic
I'm getting close. A little trouble finding 20" squared. I was going to go 19" until Mike and my brother convinced me otherwise. I'll probably end up with staggered.
I have staggered 19" on my 4matic and the ride quality is great and they fill out the wells fine. I have 13MM spacers in the rear with factory +43 offsets. Little rub that was quickly fixed with a grinder. I was concerned that 20s would give a rough ride or bend too easy with the skinny tires you need with 20s.
