context_page_description: Taxicab livery varies greatly from country to country. In some countries, livery is determined by Government legislation, in other countries, taxicab operators have choice on colours.
context_section_description: In Germany, taxicabs are beige, a look that was officially stipulated by law as Elfenbein a light ivory-color in 1971. In 2005 this legal restriction was lifted, but most taxicab drivers associations and companies still prefer the unified look and visibility of beige.
  Most taxicabs in Germany are Mercedes-Benz limousines, predominantly of the E-Class series.
