Quick Color Question

Just wondering if any of you knew the color of this car below:

It was an ebay car, and I think it's Petrol Green, same as my car, albiet much better condition (due to the California sun). The listing is here:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&item=260253555526

And the seller hasn't responded to a request- probably got a good price for it off of ebay. If it is petrol green, it's a great incentive to repaint mine...

Yep, looks like petrol green to me. Same as my 240D. Not many North American MB's had that color.

Petrol Green??

Or was it "Teal"? Is Petrol Green the color that Elegant Madame --- my first MB --- is.

Don't know the color name of this dark green, but I love it with Beige or Palomino interior.
I do know the light green is called Seafoam and I don't care for that color at all.

Ya'll remember that driveway? Remember the coupe that looked good in the pics, then someone here on MS the when to look at and it was a POS?

It has had a cheap repaint, look at the pic of the tag, it has very bad orange peel. It has been wrecked also, see the pic of the drivers side headlight, look at the hood and the piece of metal under the headlight door, the gap is way off.
