The sky plays tricks on many of the MB colors. My car can be one of 4 different colors at any time depending on lighting. So I take it you're not buying the member's car, just using the photo as a reference?

ah, coz i like that picture so much then i came across one of the dealership that has this car in platinum blue and to me they look similar but , in the real life its more bluish, thinking if this colour worth to buy, coz to many of them in my country merc should be black or silver, so this is very rare and tempted to buy or not. car has only 9000 kms smell new, looks new and drives like new

If you like the color of the one at the dealer, buy it. Shouldn't matter which blue it is.

This could be 041 Designo Graphite, as the color looks very similar to my own car.

It is flint grey

Here is a photoshoot done by Peter at ACG. Mark got a P-Car, and now has another E55, or so I hear.
