Can someone advise how to find a source for the colors offered from the factory please?

I found this (on mbworld.) For the 1995 e420 I do have the factory glossy sales brochure but NOT the paint chip catalogue for the car. The Red Plum was just an everyday beater that's been fixed up.

Thanks Jim! Holy crap batman! You could get all those?

Jim B. · #4 06-04-2013, 10:41 AM

This is the worldwide list, I doubt if all colors were available in the US spec cars, which are only the 300 Diesel, the e420, and the sedan, convertible and wagon with the e320 motor. I saw a few w124 e200 4 cylinder gassers (WITH A MANUAL transmission) in Germany last year, still being nursed along - worth saving likely because of the gas mileage, "benzin" costs the U.S. equivalent of $9.00 a gallon when I was there last year...so does diesel fuel, but it's a little cheaper than benzin.
