I'm 100% positive that the color of that SL55 is Horizon Blue. It's available on all S' and CL's. Very nice!

SORRY VROOM BUT I AM THE BUYER AND I CAN TELL YOU WHAT IT SAYS ON THE INVOICE - ''CHALCEDONY BLUE''

MAYBE THAT IS CALLED HORIZON BLUE IN THE US ?

Love this color!

I love this color!

This ice-blue shading reminds me of Ferrari's colors of Grigio Alloy and Azzurro California which they use on their 360 Modena.

How can I order one like this?

We're looking at the Aegean Blue (factory) color, but I like this shade better.

I noticed your in Florida, from what I know you'd have to pretty much ask your salesman like crazy because the knowledge I gathered from this thread pretty much says that this is a Designo color.

I just checked www.mbusa.com and they don't have this color, which makes sense as it isn't for this market.

That is correct. Here in US it's called horizon blue while in Europe it's under a different name (chalcedony blue).

This sucks, I must be blind or something but under the www.mbusa.com website there is no Horizon blue.

Re: Love this color!

This blue might be slightly more blue than Diamond Silver but, without seeing it in person, it looks a lot like Diamond Silver, which I have seen in person. And Diamond Silver definitely has blue in it, not green as someone suggested above.

robert medic is not going to say no

he just has to say yes to the states

my feeling is that he wont do it

if he doesnt then never mind - get tellur silver - billal seems to think that is fine

me too

I have a positive opinon on most, and if you want to resort to something unrelated to the thread take it to PM's.

Beautiful car - I love the color...
Swissmick: do you have any shots where there are other car colors in the same picture so one can contrast the your color to others?
