Hi,

This has probably been vented before but i just wondered if i can start up this conversation as I do find it interesting. I was having a conversation with a few friends as to what combination seems classy - and shock horror we all actually agreed - and i wondered what everyone else thought. The scheme we ended up picking was black exterior and cream leather interior...what are other members' thoughts? Does it make a difference if it is an SLK or an SL? Should Mercedes offer other colours - if so which? I would be interested to know people's collective thoughts.

Thanks

Black over stone is beautiful. Mars red or Aegean Blue over stone are also stunning and less common.

Mercedes should offer any color combo that a customer desires.

the sl series is so good looking, i dont think i've seen a combo i don't like. my wife wanted white with stone, and i think that is a "pretty combo". but when the unit came in black with charcoal, i thought it had a "richness" to it that was really impressive.

I have noticed a few say Stone - does that not require a lot of looking after as it seems a light colour and therefore would get dirty very quickly? I must admit i am also not familiar with charcoal?

It must be the difference in the US and the UK as I have just looked in my SL roadster booklet and it doesn't have stone or charcoal - instead it has Sand, delta blue, graphite, black or grey

Charcoal in the USA is very close to Graphite although not exact. Graphite is a shade darker.

Black with Berry Red interior.

Absolutely. I had an R129 with Java interior (light) and it required constant attention and cleaning.

Black and stone is very classy... my personal fav silver/ash.. its classy and appeals to just about everyone.
Now if I didnt care about difficulty in resale then Id go black/berry.. thats a badass combo.

After reading your initial post ... and without reading the replies ... I'd have to concur that in my 2 1/2 years of looking at SL R230 pictures ... the black with stone interior is the most stunning.

I will definitely be looking at that combination when I upgrade.

Although I am a bit afraid of the up keep necessary for a black car.

After posting this I will see if many people agree.

Cubanite silver/sand. No problem keeping to clean.

Black and Charcoal....however Black and Stone is good as well (had Black and Palomino in my 560).
