So I Bought A New Car...What Colour?

[Illusive]

So I bought a C350 4MATIC which will be arriving in June fully loaded sans leather. I've picked Calcite White with Black interior. With the Premium Package, I get the Panoramic Sunroof which covers the whole roof in black tinted glass, so the roof is black. I'm having trouble deciding if I want to change my colour to either Obsidian Black or Iridium Silver. The Silver is a traditional Merc colour, but still looks nice. Black is just gangster! What you guys think? Can't post this on the MB forum as people would be biased

Calcite White






Obsidian Black Metallic






Iridium Silver Metallic

Mercedes = Black & Mysterious

All part of the allure to this premium brand

Although!! I won't vote because I also love white cars with black accents like visors, tinted windows and sexy black wheels.

And finally Silver is a good color too, it doesn't show dirt like Black & White does... remember your Mugen wheels... dirty all the time

I voted for white. I like your choices though. You can't go wrong with Silver, White, or Black for any car. German cars look best in those 3 colors anyway IMO.

That Black metallic looks perfect.

None of the above? I dunno. Too me all those colors are typical of Benz's. I went with a "mainstream" color with my VBP fit. Though I have no complaints, my next car I am picking a more non-common color for the brand.

The other colours just didn't suit the body style. Merc's look silly in bright red, the burgundy isn't pretty, the darker grey only looks good on the C63, and the dark blue looks out of place. I'm working with what I got lol...

[dickiez]

WHITE PHOTO WIN hahaha

[lilaznphatboy]

i like all three so i voted all three

[Im|Inside|Fit]

i voted for white... but if red was one of the option i woulda picked red even though i love the color white

[boojum]

Silver is the traditional German color because that is Germany's racing color. Our is white with a blue stripe flanked by two thin stripes and passing over the driver's side of the car.

France: French blue; Italy: red; UK: BRG

White! Hands down.

Black is just hot, so it won my vote. If burgundy had been an option, I probably would have picked that.

I looked at the Benz site. You are right, colors are a little off. I'd go with white or red. But again that's me. Good luck and grats!

First of all, awesome ride. Secondly, go with the black. One thing however, black and white are tough to keep clean.

black!...........

[ilovemyGD3]

i like the silver for some reason. i usually like white though.

Thanks for the opinion guys. I finally decided on Palladium Silver, which is a darker silver than the one pictured. Saw it on a C63 AMG and it looked really nice on the car. Sales guy let me start up the C63 with AMG Performance Package and rev it...HOLY $&@%!!! That car is a freaking BEAST!!!
