I don't know if I have ever seen Mocha Black in person. If I have, I didn't know what I was looking at. If anyone has a photo that actually shows the color, I would love to see it.

I have that color and it is gorgeous.

See here, and throughout the thread there are some close-ups of the color so you can see the detail.

I'm sorry, but in all of these photos, the car looks, well, BLACK! If you had to describe the color, how would you do so?

I mostly forget that it is Not black. I would actually says it's black with a little brown more than it is really dark brown... if that makes sense.

When it is clean and in the sun, you can see the brown and it really makes the brown interior make sense/look good. But I would bet 10 out of 10 people would say it's black...but you can tell it's not just a gloss black.




There's a little (very little) plus exposure here as I was focusing on my Chevelle

If it is not directly in the sun, it will look black, but not that deep black like a black car.

In the sunlight it comes alive, and looks mocha, almost dark brown with flecks.

It is a gorgeous color and one of my all time favorite ones (we had a W220 with the Mocha Black/Expresso Designo package).

Very elegant and understated and perfect for sunny California

Nice to see you car again; it's been a while. What are you thinking about for your next car?

Washed and waxed today. No photo corrections and I think you can really see the brown in a couple of these shots. You can definitely see it with the naked eye!

Great looking car, love the brakes! Can’t understand why anyone getting an AMG would not order them. At $8,900, they are a gift.

That's a good looking car. I have an W212 that is Black, it's an awesome color when it's clean but when dirty it looks just black. I am not usually a fan of the standard Black but an S63 in Mocha Black is really sharp.

It looks like Obsidian black with a hint of brown in it.
