Does anyone know the dash beige/cream color code?  My car interior code 249 - which is bamboo with brown carpet - the dash is a light beige color - need color code for that.
thank you,

On your 280SL with leather interior - designation Bambus 8011  (Bamboo 8011) goes for seats, door insides, dash, on soft top cover etc.  I have the same in my SL.

Trip,

The seats, door skins, dash, on soft top cover should all match. So Bamboo in your case.

That is supposed to be your exterior color.
That paint code can be found on a plate on the left (driver's side in my case) side under the hood.
Do a search for paint codes or look in the tech manual under Data Cards and Color Codes, Body and Paint Number Plate.
Even if your car was re-painted a different color, often painters/owners leave the dash alone, so that is your original color and documented on the plate.
