Here is a Steel Gray C300

Hi I know alot people want to see the steel gray color. These are not the best pics to show of the color but I think in person is what really counts when buying.

I went to go check out the new C again yesterday and the particular model I drove was Steel Gray, which is by far(IMO of course) the best color for this car. I was interested in what Palladium Silver looked like in the flesh and there was a car in that color directly across from the Steel Gray C, it looked pale in comparison. It looks more like a Champagne color with a Golden tinge to it, and I'm not into anything Gold, whatsoever.

It looks like it might suffer the same problem as BMW's dark gray ... does it have a purplish tint under heavy sunlight?

not to me, dark cars where this is lots of sun fade fast and attract a lot of heat. I think the Pall. silver is awesome and all class. No idea where you get GOLD from ?????

Gold??

I think you've mixed up the pewter/cubanit silver with palladium silver. Pewter got that 'champagne' feeling to it.

Lots of steel gray.

I didn't notice any gold in palladium silver, but I did notice some blue/purple. I just don't want that from steel gray like BMW's sparkling graphite.

I stand corrected. I just took a look at a Palladium Silver C on ebaymotors.com and it looks nothing like the car I saw on Sat. The salesperson told me that particular car was Palladium, I took her word for it. We're both wrong.
