G'day Folks,

I'm thinking ahead - way ahead.

I'm in the middle of stripping the paint off my W123 chassis and getting the welding done and I'm already thinking that perhaps I don't like Manganese Brown any more.

Manganese Brown (480) metallic is the original colour that I do (or did?) think was a pretty correct colour for the W123 - it is "of its time" and with the chrome it kind of gives a luxurious feel.



But then again I quite like the other metallic colours that were available

W123 original color code + pics - Page 2 - Mercedes-Benz Forum

So what about Cyprus green (876)



Or anthracite grey (172)



Blue green (877)



Lapis blue (932)



So rules for voting are it has to be an original metallic colour for the W123 and it has to look good for a four door saloon / sedan. The interior colour of the car will stay the same => palomino (leather seats) and black dash etc

What would you choose?
