Cuprite brown

[bmoster]

I am on the verge of ordering a pre facelift w212 Avantgarde. Trying to pick a colour. Iridium silver would be my usual choice but my dad has the car in that colour. I think I like the Cuprite brown but have only seen it in pictures. It looks quite interesting. The other interesting one is cavansite blue. Opinions please

Thanks

Factor in that UK Mercedes dealers appear to be programmed to like silver and black cars and feel uncomfortable when asked to take back cars in any other colour as a part exchange.

Will be leased no no issues with resale

Cuprite Brown looks great in the metal, and it works very well with Chestnut Brown upholstery.

Agreed - almost went for that myself.

Go for it. I'd really like a brown 911!

When you "detail" it you can say.........

" Look you can polish a turd".

macademia is an awesome colour....

I love both - though resale on Sepang Bronze is really hard so I went for Interlagos Blue.

I think these new metallic browns look great, my Gf has a very dark chocolate brown Mini Cooper S, in some lights it looks black and in others it takes on a bronze hue. Hopefully the browns will catch on, they are a world away from the awful 'turd' brown that the old Allegro used to come in and seemed so popular

The problem will be when fashion changes and you have this colour, bit like the bright yellows and lime greens of the past. Brown appears to be this years colour, will it still be next year

Classic colours are back in fashion:

I think the problem is that MB have cultivated silver as part of the persona, that with black seems to be the majority of cars. Unconsciously buyers have accepted that those are the only colours one should have, and now have a reluctance to choose something different for fear that come resale time black or silver is what the next buyer expects.

Bright lurid or unusual colours can be carried off by 2 sorts of car. High end performance GT " look at me" cars such as Porsche Ferrari BMW Coupes Ford Mustangs etc can carry it off because the performance aspect of the car can stand it. The other type is the "cheeky chappie" small city or utility car which says " I have no pretensions to be anything special but here I am! like it or not" I'm not sure that slab sided executive saloons put out either "vibe" enough to get away with it? except maybe an AMG E63 --- an E200 needs all the help it can get in the way of a mainstream colour to effect the right image imho. That's not to say Mercedes current range of offerings isn't fairly restricted and would benefit greatly from an increase in choice.

I think your right-you dont see many ferrari's that arn't red & Bmw's main colour Black.

Surprised how popular browns are on the list. Or is it just me

 

[wemorgan]

More purple than yellow? - that's not the case in my eyes
