HEY! HEY! HEY! # 265 Mushroom looks great, especially if it a a #040 Black 1989 560 SEC wrapped around it....... LOL! Just tell them cream beige for your color unless you are looking for original color interior bits.
Kinda hard to find like bits though. Palomino is darker, more yellow in it and browner but not tobacco, java, or saffron(more yellow than beige)...AKA DARK tan.

Yeah, the information super highway is, . . . well, pretty super, all right! I was surprised that a website like this was in Russia. I would have thought Germany to have been a more likely host country to a Mercedes website of this kind.

BTW, 200A comes up as "unknown", but it is an "Ausstattung" code and indicates leather. 000A is cloth, 500A is Buffalo Leather for the M-Class, among others.
