Can you help me identify this stunning W116 color

[ECS Tuning]

Anyone with knowledge of the name and color code of this?

I believe that is 876 Cypress Green.
Such a killer colour. Love it with black leather combo, just so  cool and rare combo here in North America where most of the W116s I've seen are silver over blue or black leather.

Definately not cypress green which is a much darker colour.  The car in the photo above is citrus green.

yeah a quick google and it looks like 874?  citrus green

Looks like the car in the photo has a darker green interior, that is the combo I would have if I decide to pull the trigger. Opinions?

[daantjie]

Personally I think Green over black leather looks killer

[daantjie]

There is also Agave Green 880
Only way to tell for sure is to get the paint code from the options plate or data card.
Either way that colour looks tight!

It's a great color, like Thistle green is, but I would much worry about how it looks during the week, with dust en dirt on it. Fantastic Thistle green looks very shabby with just a little dirt.

Is this the same? The label reads 861H...

[Beastie]

861 is silbergrün (silver-green). It's the same colour as my own car, although mine is faded from decades of Aussie sun.



I doubt very much that the car in the first post in this thread is 861.



This is another photo of the car from the first post, taken on a different day:




I believe it's Citrus Green - code 874.

874 citrus green is the cats meow IMHO

[karmann_20v]

Did you buy the car? Any details?

[ECS Tuning]

Not yet. Pretty much gave up looking for one in Citrus Green in the USA, will have to find one and get it painted

[karmann_20v]

I don't think I've seen a Citrus Green US car before, but good luck with your search.

This SAYS Citrus Green: http://www.ebay.com/itm/1977-Mercedes-280SE-Rare-Classic-Citrus-Green-In-Over-All-Great-Condition-/291368408496?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43d6e915b0

Probably actually Cypress Green.
