|  Your SLK Color... In Hong Kong, most of the SLK that I've seen are either in (iridium) silver or black, with silver as the majority. Does the same happen in your country? My CLK is in tellurium silver, whereas my SLK is in cubanite silver!  |

| While Iridium silver is a majority at where I live. I do see black, red, blue, pewter or cubanit silber, and white R171's. I've also seen several yellow R170 and copper R170.

| In France most of SLK's are silver or black that's the reason I took a benitoite blue which is a colour changing from black to turquoise green depending on the sun illumination |

| Hmm thats a tough question, I see alot of Diamon Silver SLK's, White SLK's, Mars Red, Obsidian Black and some Iridium Silver. I settled for Designo Mocha Black.

|  Give me a SLK in every color and I'd be happy. Given one choice and I'd say Iridium Silver. I enjoy seeing other SLKs (R170 and R171) in a variety of colors. Not a bad choice in the spectrum.

| Red is great, blue is nice, silver pretty - the most important point is that all colors look like black. I prefer black because when I was young I saw Konrad Adenauer in a black 300E Landaulet. The most SLK in Germany are silver |

Would love black but I am in two minds. it is not the extra work to keep it clean that worries me, it's more the tiny scratches that are so much more visible on dark car P | |

 | Most here are black or silver, with the edge going to black. With our 120 degree summers, it's surprising how many black SLK's are on the road.

If you're considering spending the money on a designo, order a color that isn't very common. As far as I know, you can get a color other than the two "boxed" colors. No offense to those of you with the factory designo colors. Of course...I'm biased. And one day I'm fairly certain I'll have the only copper AMG 55.
