Ciao Claudio

Are you SURE it's 653? The G normally means a Glasurit paint (manufacturer). They show no Mercedes with a 653 code...

http://www.glasurit.com/COLOR/new-color-online/m1frameset.php?language=1

Similarly, our own tech manual shows no similar code (let alone a matching one)

Could it be a custom colour? Although if so, it's likely to show up on the Glasurit site... ???

I looked through my Glasurit  book and several other paint chip lists for the era, and there is no reference to a DB 653, could it be 623? or 658 (light ebony - yes ebony go figure the naming system)
