Mercedes Benz Color Code 291 H – Dark Olive
Mercedes Color 291 H – Dark Olive is a non-metallic dark green, very similar to what is often referred to as ‘British Racing Green’ on English cars.
Most popular from the mid 1960s through the mid 1970s, Dark Olive is especially attractive when paired with a Cognac, Bamboo or similar beige / light brown interior. The Dark Olive color often appears black in photos depending upon lighting conditions, but in bright sun, it is, unmistakably, green.
