I know, it sounds silly, but my car is supposed to be Black, as shown on the V5, paint code on the car is 189 ( Emerald Black Metallic) MOT says Green, my eyes say Blue!
Has anyone else got one this colour? If so, what colour do you see?

These photos are about as true a colour match as I can make, OK, I admit it looks a little green ( grass reflection?) at the bottom in this picture ( top) but I can only see blue in the bottom one.

This is a well known phenomenon.
Your car is Green-Black.
 
Many threads on this, I think MB call Blue Emerald Black Metallic IIRC.

On a different subject - Please check your PM box :)
 
Interesting threads, so, its Green Black eh?. I`ll just have to get my eyes adjusted to seeing it as such. It looks totally different in sunlight too, sort of pearlescent.

Thanks for all the replies, kHZ, PM replied to.
