What colour is this?
Hi...I'm purchasing a C350 in April and am torn over which colour to get. It's either the Tenorite Grey or the Sanidine Beige. Anyone know what colour this car is in the pic:

Is it Sanidine Beige? It looks darker than the colour on the MB UK website.
What would you get? Tenorite with grey lether or Sanidine with beige leather?
Cheers,
DJ

I think the beige looks pretty nice. The dark shade really jumps. It's not for my personal taste, but if you like it go for it. It is quite different for a benz. You won't lose your car in the parking lot, that's for sure.

My favorite is the pewter, honestly. I also like the darker slate color. Nothing looks cleaner than white, though.

All Benz products look good in silver. Probably an association with the "silver arrows" heritage.

The metallic dark greys & grey/blues look stunning on these cars but suffer safety issues at night from a visibility perspective as does black. Also - the American love of black is not shared in hot countries because the cars are so damn hot when exposed to sunlight. This makes whites & silver the most popular colours.

Often when I see a car commercial and they show the competitors vehicles, do you know what color they use? That ugly *** champagne / gold color. They use it for a reason.

I hate that commercial! I would much rather have my Benz! Not because it's a status symbol, but because I love my car! The cars are not even directly comparable. FWD vs RWD?

White looks very good.
Funny - when I ordered my car from overseas because there was a waiting list of 3 months at that time & I knew I was returning home & wanted a custom spec. I said to them white or silver - ended up with silver. Would have been happy with either.
Our 204 is Palladium silver with grey/black interior - leather. What the lady wanted & it looks great. The extra brightwork on a 204 seems to make it work. The car always attracts positive comments.
