If you want to keep it low-maintenance / cost, then reference / choose from the RAL colour palette.Quote:

This is the standardized colour palette for most european commercial vehicles, adopted by the vehicle manufacturers.
Appreciated thanks. Wanted to keep it solid color preferably for cost/maintenance, but also wanted it to stand out a bit.:)

From an MB perspective, a lot of emergency / commercial vehicles as well as most of the steyr-puch G-wagens & unimogs use the standard RAL palette. MB also still use the colour palette for the W461 G-professional, but I am yet to see an Aussie delivered w463 G in a non-metallic colour. Marketing stuff... and you'd expect that to be the case for the absurd price they charge.. (I'd actually expect a lot more for my money to be honest.... like 37" tyres and portal axles, and a hose-out interior) ;)
As an Aside - there is a page here: http://www.classicway.de/ which is a database of the Mercedes-Benz classic car 3-digit colour codes. Some of them (you will notice) have the same name as the RAL solid colours, and in some cases are identical in solid colour instances.
