(Not my picture.) And it’s a beautiful color. Normally I wouldn’t give a GLA a second look, but this particular color is quite fetching. A grassy medium green always gets my attention, as opposed to darker shades (e.g. forest green or British Racing Green) that almost fade to black under certain conditions - no thanks.

That color is available on the AMG as well.

I actually saw a GLA45 AMG in that green once with black wheels. It looked hilarious.

From the internet:

Here’s some of the A45 AMG since I couldn’t find enough of the GLA.

Amazing. Now how much do I have to pay to get that color on an S-Class?

That looks like how a Jolly Rancher Green Apple tastes. Does that make sense?

People need to start buying cars in these strange colors more often. Thankfully I’ve seen many new Civic Coupes in that lime green color.

I’m quite shocked Mercedes-Benz would offer a color like this.

We need more green cars (my fav color is green)! That Benz looks awesome!

I get what you’re saying but feel as though a green Jolly Rancher would correspond to a lighter/brighter shade of green.

It's a shame that most dealers stick to the conservative paint options when ordering/promoting. Every once in a while a demo pops up somewhere in an arresting red or even that stunning blue they've got. But most Mercedes (I fear) are going to stay in the conservative corporate palette. Saw my 1st GLA actually in that Elbaite green. Sparked a bit of hope.

The only ‘modern’ Benz I can think of that came in wild colours and was known to be seen in the wild (heh) with them was the G-wagon. Was having a laugh about this on GTA. They really came with unexpected variety.

Obviously 60s-70s had impressive range as well. But every once in a while I'll see a C215/CL-Klasse in that bright Wedgwood green or Magma red or Aubergine. R129 and R230 SLs also had some fantastic colours: signal red, that strange dusky rose violet, Mystic Red — the deep burgundy with brilliant flake in it. 1st gen SLKs had yellow and Laguna Green.

That green in that lighting makes it look like its muscles are rippling. Looks amazing!

My position that this is the only good German car currently in production has not changed.

It would be a nice color for Benz to offer in an A-class instead of this stupid “crossover” GLA nonsense.
