Hi guys,

I am looking to buy a SL63 and I am only interested in 1 particular color; it's a grey but apparently 3 sorts of grey are available for the SL63.

- Palladium Silver Metallic
- Pewter Metallic
- Steel Gray Metallic

The color I am looking for is the following:





Are the 2 previous pictures the same color anyway?

Looks like Tenorite Grey to me, very nice, I plummed for Silver after thinking about White for ages!

Different greys
Every picture, based on camera, lighting, etc. shows colors differently. I have attached a pic of my Steel Grey SL55. Based on the pics you posted, I'd say the first is Pewter and the second is Palladium Silver. Palladium Silver is the "lightest" grey, followed by Pewter, then Steel Grey. You really need to see all the colors in person to make a choice. The Steel Grey is very similar to Designo Graphite, which I had previously. I love its colors in the direct sun. But it's always a personal choice.

I agree. Every picture is different.

I have a better idea now about steel grey; that's not the one I am looking for.

I will try to find each grey at some dealership and compare.

Thanks
