SLK Colors - Can Someone Identify this Color?
1 Attachment(s)
Hi,
Hope this is not an odd question, but I found the photo below of a blue SLK that I really like. I know its a European color, but I don't know which one. Can someone identify? I found the photo on a German Mercedes Club site, but "Ich spreche Deutsch nicht. " ( I don't speak German :) Also, has anyone heard of getting a US Spec SLK in a European color? I'm willing to pay extra for the European color. Thanks, Mike [IMG]file://home/mythtv/SLK_Blue3.jpg[/IMG] |

fancy marketing name of this particular blue color, and maybe which regions is it available in. Thanks, Mike |
I think that it is just plain old Orion Blue, available in the USA on an SLK from 2002 or so to 2004 -- I don't think that it was available in 2005.

Orion
I think that is correct, but Mercedes still offered it in Europe as I have seen it on some of the cars picked up for factory delivery by British posters after it was no longer available in the U.S. Beverage comes to mind though I'm not sure if she posts on this forum or just on MBNZ.org. and with their recent server change I'm not sure if old photos survived should you try to do a search.

Did a search and found what you are looking for, Florp claim to be the only 2006 Orion Blue SLK55 and I believe him, it looks beautiful. here's the link if you want to read the whole thread, https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...ght=orion+blue
Otherwise here's your answer,

In reply to WolfWolf:
Are these pictures of cars in two different colors of blue. The first two look much lighter than the last couple. Or, is that the light. Thanks, Mike |
