Bump.
If you guys have any question related to C63 W205 colors please ask here in this thread.

Venoms

Matte silver

I went with Brilliant Blue. Its nice color (never saw it in person though)

CeSixtyThree

I wasn't expecting obsidian black had such a demand on new C63 to be honest, I thought Irridium silver would be on top.

A lot of white C63

I went with lunar blue.

Hi everyone,
First post and very interested in the C63S.

Sorry if this was answered somewhere else... I've looked at pics online, but still had a few questions on color:

1) Any particular reason why Brilliant Blue did not come to the U.S.?

2) Is Palladium silver a little lighter than steel grey? They seem similar...

3) Iridium silver has a slight bluish tint in the sun, correct?

Thanks!

I ordered Lunar Blue, but I was wondering which blue Chris Harris was driving in his review video?

And I've been searching for good pictures of Lunar Blue online... Most pics look great, but some pictures make the color look purplish and really dark.

I think Chris is driving Brilliant Blue which is available on Euro spec cars, but not US. I personally like Brilliant Blue a lot more, so was disappointed they didn't bring it over. Lunar is too subdued for me.

CeSixtyThree

Hi
Im not sure why Brilliant Blue is not available in USA, maybe it will be in next few years? perhaps.


2) Palladium silver is my 2nd choice for C63 if brilliant blue wasn't available locally. Its very nice color its mix between grey, silver and light brown. (I chose brilliant blue you can see my final configuration in my signature bellow )


3) Iridium silver is pure metal silver. I think you're referring to Diamond silver which have blue flakes. very nice color I must say.
Chris Harris was using Brilliant Blue

Thanks CeSixtyThree!

Brilliant Blue was my first choice but since it's not available in the US I'm thinking Palladium or one of the whites. I do want the 19" black cross spoke wheels, but I'll be ordering later this year, so hopefully MB makes them available later on.

Obsidian is a possibility but not sure I want the maintenance of a black car again.

MB Dave

I guess it's a Dave thing

BossManDave

Thanks for your help guys... I'm definitely going to change my order while I still can.

I like this picture from the official pics thread. Can someone please confirm that this is Palladium Silver?

I am curious as well if that's Palladium Silver (or Steel Grey)? That's one of my favorite pics.

Lots of Diamond Whites. Obvi, the best color.

i like the sig change

Is diamond white similar to mineral white on BMWs?

CeSixtyThree

I'm not sure what mineral white from BMW looks like but diamond white have yellow tint and polar white is pure white. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

csbear

Thanks!
Sounds similar to MW then. I've seen it on the road I think. Both whites look very nice on the C class.

Narrowed it down to Palladium Silver or one of the whites.

Now if Brilliant Blue was offered in the US that for sure would have been my first choice.

I'm getting the night pkg regardless.

JPMBenz

How did you get your picture so large?

CeSixtyThree

Go with palladium silver. I really really like this color. Palladium silver exterior + red interior + night package = game over.

+1 I am getting mine with the black wheels but the white & black standard seats on the C63s

Cropped it to meet the pixel requirements, then sharpened it to give it definition.
