Trying to determine color code.. info requested

Recently purchased a silver/gray 560SEL. Have not taken posession of the vehicle but would like to know the color code of the exterior. Ex. Arctic white - 147.

Attached is the VIN plus color... I hope someone can help me find this out. Thanks

Whereas I don't know the name of the color, I can say that if you can get a pic of the plate up near the center of the radiator, you can find out the color code and all the other codes for the options on your car.

I know about this.. but I am trying to figure it out with the info presented. I don't have a picture of the top of the radiator. Is it possible to find out?

Perhaps Mr. Steve Brotherton or someone with access of some sort that gets these type of info?

Thanks for the reply

I didn't think the VIN number provided information about body or interior color, but that information was on the data plate on the radiator support. The VIN will tell you the country of origin, location of the factory, general type of engine, production number, etc.

Data Plate

The paint code is on the data plate above the radiator...it will be the only 3 diget number followed by either G or H. The G and H are the 2 suppliers of the paint at that time to Mercedes. This will work up into the 90's from at least the 60's... Someone out there can give you one of the paint sites for Mercedes paint codes...A hacker messed up my computer and i have to find all those sites again and I will....Jim
