Mercedes Benz Color Code 568 H – Signal Red

written by mercmkt
Mercedes Benz Color Code 568 H – Signal Red

Mercedes color code 568 H, Signal Red, replaced “Red” (519) (yes, just Red) in the late 1960s and was available through the 1970s, 80s and into the 90s. Anecdotally, we’re going to call Signal Red a popular color. It was available across the model line of Mercedes cars, but was most common on SLs, especially during the 1980s.

Color Code: 568 – Signal Red. 1967 230 SL (Euro spec). Note the second color code of “040” (black) on this car’s data tag. Originally the hard top and hub cups were black, at some point this car was repainted, entirely, in Signal Red. Photo: Dave Tobin

1969 280 SL in Signal Red – Mercedes color code 568 H. This car has seen better days, the data tag is almost illegible in this photo. I pulled this car from a damp garage after being completely dormant and neglected for about 11 years. Photo: Dave Tobin.

1987 560 SL in Signal Red – Mercedes color code 568 H. Just based on the number of Signal Red 560 SLs that usually show up at car shows and Mercedes-Benz Club events, Signal Red should be considered a fairly popular 560 SL color. Photo: Dave Tobin.
