1991 paint codes

I have a 91 500sl 2 tone paint the top color is 147 Artic white. Cant for the life of me find the bottom half color code. Thought it might have been custom but when looking online Ive seen quite a few with that color. Its like a very light gray or a darker white. Any help/

attached is a paint code list for 500E's of that era, I would guess the paint schemes are similar

On a 500E, Artic White cars got Sato Grey cladding, code 7738

Paint Codes and Locations

Hi ohollenbeck.

I found the info you attached in the PDF interesting, about colours, as it showed not only the number of vehicles with that colour but also it gave a breakdown of number of vehicles in various locations.

Are you able to tell me the Web address to obtain this info ?

Or if it's on an internal system you use, can you please post a PDF with my Australian 2012 Ml63 AMG (paint code C799 = $1,800 option for Diamond White BRIGHT - Metalic).

Kind regards, Craig T
