For those that know, my current Cirrus Silver 2022 S580 was in an accident recently. I'm not certain I will keep this car when I get it back from the shop. So, I've started looking around for a replacement. I know the Olive green is an option, but finding one here in Atlanta is next to impossible. It really is the unicorn of colors. No dealers or used lots have one that I can find. The closest is a couple of dealerships in Florida. That isn't practical because I really want to see one in person before committing to buying one in another state.
Does any forum member have the Manufaktur Signature Olive Metallic green paint either on an S or another model? And if so, what do you think? Would you choose the color again if ordering/buying your car anew?
Here's a pic of it from MBUSA's website

I don’t have one, but I saw one the other day and it is absolutely stunning! I thought it was the best looking W223 I have ever seen. I saw it in Newport Beach where I live and if I ever get the chance to take a good photo of it, I will. Unfortunately, I believe the only way you will find a car in that color, is if a customer cancels a special order.
Speaking of Cirrus Silver, I had that on my 2022 S580 and the only thing I can say is WHY? WHY did they change from Iridium Silver, which was a lovely shade and give us what I felt was a “cloudy day.” For a short time, I had both a 2020 S560 in Iridium and a 2022 S580 in Cirrus. The difference was quite noticeable when parked side by side.

There was a leftover '24 in the west coast that I was drooling over.
I haven't seen one in person, but just by looking at the photos, it looked stunning!
You have great taste in color!
Go for it!

When I was working with a local dealer and asked for a dealer trade (they had a bare bones black on black) with the packages I wanted, she mentioned the possibility of trading it with a Olive Metallic green one from another dealer.
The deal fell through and I got my current car from another local dealer who apparently worked out the trade with MB Atlanta South.
Contact your dealer and ask to find one they can trade on.
If they're any good, they can find one, either on the lot or still in transit.
I also seen some sort of olive green posted on the G-wagen sub-forums, any chance that is the same colour? If so, is that colour originally from that vehicle and brought to the S-Class?
Hello: Your in luck as there are 10 2025 S580's in stock at various dealerships in the US on the MBUSA website when you search S580s and select green as the color. Perhaps one is near you. One dealership Mecedes of Sudbury has 2! There was one earlier this year on the east coast that was a unicorn -
Exterior Olive Green metallic with Yacht Blue interior - not for everyone's taste. That combination is not allowed in the 2026 Dealer Order Guide.

That is nice to hear for OP, I thought this colour was only orderable through their MANUFAKTUR program by a customer, didn't know MB dealerships can order them too.

Just realize it only looks that color in absolute direct sunlight. It's more of a dark/black color in shade or at night. (Most of the time it will look like the lower part of door of OP image). I made the mistake a few S-classes ago in a Ruby Red; it's practically black in situations other than direct sunlight. Same with colors/shades of dark blue, olive, etc.

I agree most stock color for the S is somewhat dark in less than ideal lightings.
I believe they intentionally kept it darker to have a more classy appeal rather than right in your face sort of colors.
That's why I think the Olive Green Metallic is such an attractive color - darker hue in shades but with a bright sparkle of lighter green in direct sunlight. Just gorgeous!

I mean, it does look good in direct sunlight, that might be worth it alone.

I like your thinking, Hence why the MANUFAKTUR program was born (although such program used to be from the G-wagen), S-Class had designo for those folks who want something a little bit more special.

Personally I think colors that look black except in certain lighting situations look great.
The vehicle has to be clean though, like after a wash, then it is the most beautiful paint colour ever from all angles, takes only like 5 minutes to be dirty again and it doesn't look that good I guess.
