color?
Deffinately does not look like Pewter (which appears like a silver with a brownish tone to it, but not as brown as Desert Silver). Looks more like Aegean Blue to me.

this is the the other of the two limited editions of the new SL. While I have seen the other color a lot (desert silver designo) I haven't come accross this color at all. Maybe because this is offered in Europe only.

How due u guys know what color that is, it seems so hard to really say. I was going to order mine in Diamond Silver which I am told is a new color when by chance they had a car at the dealership in that color. When I saw it in the sun it had more than a hint of Blue. I did not like the color so I decided to order the car in Brilliant Silver. Then a friend of mine came over last week around sun set with his new SL500 in Diamond Silver and it look great! So I think the motto to the story is with a car like this there really is no such thing as a bad color because the car is kick assssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!! especially the SL55
