| JSP Member Date registered: Jan 2017 Location: Montreal Vehicle(s): Mercedes G290 Turbo Posts: 30  | Anyone can guess that color's code? I have searched the web for hours and I haven't been able to find a decent match. Some color chips seems to match but then when I Google actual car pictures they're not close. I understand that color matching on a monitor is an almost impossible task but my goal was only to come up with a few candidates and test with paint samples. At this point, the best match I have found are Nautical Blue (DB929) and Ascot Blue (DB751) but I don't find them to be a very good match. I'm starting to think that this is not an original Mercedes Benz color. During my lengthy search I found some interesting websites that I thought I would pass along: paintscratch.com and paintref.com. They provide list of colors by brand/year. The lists do not perfectly match each other but these were helpful to me. (unnamed.jpg) Attachments ----------------  unnamed.jpg (82KB - 1 downloads) | |

Depending on the light it can change a lot and that picture happens to show a blue that is just perfect. I stopped trying to find the exact color code of this picture. My feeling is that even if I had the exact color code the result wouldn't match what's on the picture. I think a better approach is just to try to find a blue grey that I like because now I have seen that a G in blue grey looks awesome! Btw, I traced down another picture of a truck that has almost the same blue... if you compare the two pictures you may end up with the same conclusion as me: the two pictures show the same truck and the difference in the color is just a matter of light/angle/picture quality and so on. At least I couldn't find anything that is different between the two trucks. Here is the pciture.
