Interesting 300ce. Have you seen a color like this?

This purple color/paint is something I've never seen on the road. Is this some kind of optional factory paint?

Looks like a factory color to me.

I've seen a 500E in a color very similar to that called Almandine red.

There is also a Bordeaux red that is very similar.

I believe you're right.
If you go to this site:http://www.202-freunde.de/
Click on " Daten W 202 " & then click on " Lacke ", you'll see some interesting colors.

In any event, I think this color, i.e. Almadine Red, Bordeaux Red, etc. is the color I'd most like to have on my Mercedes.
