woah basically clicked every single box lol

Panorama roof is gonna add a lot of weight which is why i didn't get it.

with the silvers i can't give an opinion

Something to consider

The bumper tone discrepancy I think is more pronounced on palladium vs iridium

I had a 2014 e550 palladium and noticed this ...

What color will the roof be if I pass on the Panoramic roof? Same as the body?

.....color remains a highly individual preference call.

For me - after side-by-side comparisons in bright Northern california sunlight - Iridium beat out Palladium and the Diamond Silver colors.........

(Yes, it was close between the Iridium and the Diamond)

I went with Iridium on my vehicle. At my AMG training I saw all the colors and Iridium honestly looked the best for the car. I wanted Iridium from the start mainly because I feel everyone would want White.

I am torn between the two colors as well. I have always liked the iridium silver but on the German website palladium makes the car look more aggressive in my opinion. It's hard looking at a simulated picture so the best thing is to go to the dealer and look at the colors on the c models they have outside.

Will617

Same for me and I think adding that weight on top will make the car lean over more in corners.

Yeah it would be the same as the body. Idk if you have the panoramic roof right now in your car but to be honest it's pointless in my brothers CLA. I honestly wish there was an option to have no sunroof either.

Iridium because it closer resembles Brilliant silver. I may be biased.

Will617

I like the night style package and I am trying to figure out on which color it would look better. Hard to tell without seeing it in person.

amanuuh

i just went on mbusa and went to the e63 and put the night styling package on both and i have to say palladium looks better with it

I think this is the best way because to figure out what color would look good if you are trying to add aesthetic amg packages. if not then you can just go to the w205 c class.

Edit: I think palladium looks more like a mans car. If i had to choose thats what i would go with.

Personally I'd choose the Palladium silver over the iridium silver since it makes the car look a bit more aggressive.

JPMBenz

Get what makes you happy. The car even looked great in Dakota Brown & Diamond Silver.

Vinsanity12

Agree but I went with Iridium. I feel like Palladium has some earthish tone to it which I don't love. Maybe I am crazy haha but I see it.


Also main reason for the Pano roof is that the car looks better with it. Will use from time to time.

JPMBenz

It looks like we have great tastes in colors. See my signature...

I've owned Iridium, Palladium, and Steel grey. Palladium does have a little brown/taupe tone to it whereas the Iridium is pure silver. If you want a darker grey the steel-grey is a little darker and cooler than palladium and looks killer with black trim.

Here is my steel-grey next to my Palladium.

brilliant > iridium > palladium

Will617

Thanks for the comparison pics.

Really like that 507

Vinsanity12

Any guesses how much the Matte iridium paint would cost? Any other thoughts on matte?

JPMBenz

The Magno paints are not available on the US Spec C's. The US Factory is not setup with the equipment to paint them. The matte paints are nice but very hard to keep up with.

mcorliss

Had Palladium on a 204 C63 and 2011 C63, and now Steel Grey on my 2014 E63s. If I could do it all over again, I'd get Palladium again.

I Love both colours - tough choice for the OP


Just keep looking at both for a little while longer, eventually you'll find one looks better than the other

Will617

First time I read it I thought you had passed out on your keyboard LOL.

But then after reading it a few times I realized it was Latin. Well said
