I'm considering to buy the new C-class, but I'm still in a dilemma in choosing the color for the car. Which color is better? Black or white? And for the interior, do you guys think that the reef grey is nice?

Yea I'm trying to decide on that also. I'll proably just wait until I can see them in both colors and make my decision.

As nice as black is, I will never own another black car! Next car will be silver or white. Black requires way too much time and effort.

1. White

2.Iridium Silver

3.Tenorite Grey

4.Palladium Silver

5.Tansanite Blue

I've always like black or silver on a MB. But after watching the 5th Gear vid on youtube of the C350 Sport, the white color w/black interior seriously looked like a great color combo for the C-class.

Tenorite Grey ?

I've never owned a black car only silver, gold, and dark grey.... I've always prefered white & black cars over others. Is black really that much work to maintain and keep clean? I would think it wouldn't be much more that white is.

+1, except I swap Palladium Silver with Tenorite Gray.

I was also wondering what color that is and I also guessed that it is Tenorite Grey. It is an amazing color. Can anyone confirm what color it is?

Put Tansanite Blue on the top for me.

White with Illuminated Door Sills. Right, Vinster, it has been a while since I mentioned them.

I belive its Tenorite grey.
Thats the color I orded mine in.
Will get here in a couple of weeks!

Yes, black is really hard to keep clean. I vote for white exterior

one more time


even we have all Black

Yes Black is nice ...but only Washing Days !

Black looks best when clean on a C-Class,But I have been going crazy for a white on red that is on the 405 north every morning,I start from Signal Hill and he continues past Redondo Beach evry day....no Badge but full AMG body kit,I sure would like to get a look closer....

Almost any dark color works best on a Mercedes...but maintanence and all the scratches and rock chips are just too unbearable at times. My dad has already decided the next car we get will be silver...no matter what.....

I've been thinking of what color to get next for some time. I agree that black is difficult to keep clean and you can see the rock chips. I decided to go for white not long ago and when I saw a black CLK pass by just now, I started to think again whether I should go for black. Black really gives you the VIP look, especially the new C-class now has chrome surrounding the windows, and I just can't resist it. I will always be in a dilemma until I can see the real one.

Real answer ! better right answer why? because commercial pics-video, internet paper non-real world image do not tell true ! even Showroom ! Yes even you look at it in the Showroom !
I understand it better car choise is in the street , highway !

Sit down secure place and Look at the cars, colours after go to near your car (Do not touch it , could be dangerous ! ) and examine it at the real time !

in my country sold mercedes more colours (maybe %80) Black and Grey-Silver ...

Difficult-and good- thread !

GPI, how i have not once seen you around this area??? :x

Soon as the intial rush of the release simmers down, I'm going to be putting in for a White 350 with the Grey/Black two tone interior. Pretty much all of my cars in the past have been black, but this time I'm going to the other side of the spectrum.

Your feeling the exact same way I do. I decided on white, but everytime I see a clean black mercedes (or other luxury cars) with the chrome and everything I just get chills. Just like you though I'm not going to make my final decision until I able to see both in person, but I'm still pretty sure I'll like the black better I'm just trying to decide if it's worth it having to clean it so much..especially since I'm going to have college (and I play for the school) so I wont have much free time...
