I think its light ivory, but I cant confirm this. The color code plate has been removed, so I cant know the exact number...Therefore, if anyone knows the color and color code, I thank thee in advance.

a VIN and the russian site might help alot too

Possibly 623. A daylight photo might be better.

623 is close, which is Light Ivory. But the lighting when the picture was taken will affect the color. I would also say Manila Beige (681) and 606 (forgot the name).

What year is the car? I ask because you can find it here:

http://www.astralsilber.de/farbcodes/farbcodes.htm

681 Manila Beige (1979 to 1985)

Here's my Manila Beige 1983 300D (see the difference from above?)

edit: Found the other one closest to that too:

606 (appeared only until 1979)

623 Light Ivory

Another 623 car (similar to my avatar which was in sunlight, but this pic was taken in a different light):

I want to say manilla beige as well

Yeah, after seeing all of these colors, I am willing to bet on Manila Beige too.

Its an 82'.

It could look like it in a different light, like I said the lighting should be in good white light so as not to offset the tones.

Brian, what is the VIN? That should provide you with the color code if it's later than 1980.
