SLK Colors - Can Someone Identify this Color?
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

fancy marketing name of this particular blue color, and maybe which
regions is it available in.
Thanks,

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.

Here's a pic of the two tone blue interior, although the wood trim doesn't match, but some dark carbon fiber would be sexy.
With dark wood trim doesn't look to bad.
Orion blue and black two tone exterior.

Japisblau = orion blue here in America, paint code 345, but the more I look at it, the more it looks like caspian blue, a dark blue, orion is lighter.
Here's the link for paint codes.

SLK Colors in Europe
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

thanks rubensans for clearing that up, we don't get japisblau here in the states, I've read that orion blue = japisblau, maybe japisblau is caspian blue here in the states, I don't know. We have capri blue and caspian blue, orion blue is discontinued.
Capri blue
Caspian blue
