877 Petrol blue green metallic, same as mine.

www.paintscratch.com

Their chip for this color is a bit off though. The real color is much darker and not much blue at all.

See if you can find 877 on the data plate by the radiator.

Hi,

Under your hood is a data plate with the exterior and interior color numbers on it.
If you can't read it go to any auto body supply store and the counter man will usually come out and read it for you.
He will then get the color out of his computer and be able to mix it for you.
I just took the info from my 1980 W107 and they mixed it with no problem.
Just see if you have a clear coat or a lacquer finish.
If it is a lacquer finish I would go with a single stage paint that you can buff and not have to clear coat it if you do not want to. It will match and blend better than clear coat paint.

Cheers
Jack
