Mercedes-Benz paint codes

On a Mercedes-Benz, the factory paint code is printed on the vehicle data plate — on most models on the driver-side door pillar or under the hood — as a three-digit code, and on the car's data card. It identifies the exact color the car was born with — a respray never changes it. 7 documented colors below with their codes and finishes; swatches are representative.

Codes and color names are Mercedes-Benz's published designations; availability varies by model and year, and this list covers the most commonly looked-up colors — can't find yours? The VIN build sheet names it exactly. Independent reference — not affiliated with Mercedes-Benz Group AG.
