Benitoite Blue

Benitoite Blue Metallic is a rare Mercedes-Benz Designo paint, most likely named after the gemstone benitoite, a deep blue mineral first discovered in California and renowned for its rich blue appearance.

The color is a deep metallic blue with a particularly vibrant metallic flake that gives it far more sparkle than many of Mercedes-Benz's other dark blue finishes. In lower light, Benitoite Blue appears almost navy, while direct sunlight transforms it into a much brighter and more vivid blue as the metallic particles catch the light.

Like many Designo paints, Benitoite Blue Metallic was reserved for customers looking for a more exclusive specification and remains a relatively uncommon sight today.
