Anybody know what color this SL is?

Is it Tanzanite Blue...? or the new Topaz Blue?
What are the coorisponding names in the US?

Isn't Tanzanite...Capri Blue?
Has anyone one seen a Topaz Blue Car?

I believe this is the Tanzanite Blue. Looking at the MB chart and comparing it to the Topaz Blue, the Topaz Blue looks like it's a lot more darker in color than the Tanzanite Blue. I haven't seen it in actual but again looking at this chart you can see the difference. Click here for the chart..

yeah, I know the chart....but if tanzanite blue is the same as Capri Blue than this car cannot be Tanz....My ML is Capri so I know the color well...It is very difficult to tell what the Topaz Blue is really like looking at the chart..

JamE55

Not really familiar with what the Capri Blue looks like but this color is for the SL line so the color for your ML might be totaly different from the SL line.

Just finish viewing the SL training tape; the new color "diamond silver" is extremely gorgeous (the final section of the training tape is a diamond silver SL55 with red interior).

Cannot wait...

Never heard of "Aegean Blue" Where did you see that Nabzy? I don't see it listed as a color on any site English or German...I did find this car described as Topaz Blue...looks like the same color

Is Diamond Silver (#762) a new "OFFICIAL" US color? I did not see that color when viewing preliminary specs at my dealer.

Anybody got any pics of this "Diamond Silver"??


Thanks!

I believe topaz is the name they are going with in Europe, while agean blue is the same color, but with a different name for N. America

Very good info nabzy! You think this'll be the same options and packages for the SL55?

I just bought one in this color, going to pick it up tomorrow.
At first I thought it was Orion blue metallic, but now I'm pretty sure it is Aegean blue metallic based on this color chart, the best I've been able to find.
