Can't decide between a palladium silver and a steel grey.

I know color is a personal choice and you have to take what u like best. But for me, palladium silver is looking too light and at the same time Steel grey seems a little dark for a grey color. I like dark colors but somehow I didn't like the dark grey that the steel grey seems like.

I just wanted to know how each one fares when you take the car out on a ride? Do people appreciate them both the same or is there an edge for one over the other.

Finally, what do you guys suggest?

Same here palladium is not dark enough and steel is too deep. I wish they gave us more choices like metalic grey , lakeshore slate or something.

If you are going to get the pano roof then go for the silver. The pano roof looks very good with light colors. Otherwise I would go with the grey.

I love Steel Grey...I get complimented on it all the time...so shiny and metallic

I would go look at both in person and judge for yourself

Saw a tenorite grey (i.e., steel grey) with brown (i.e., cognac) interior while traveling in Europe this week. Superb combo!

love my tenorite grey...imo its much better than Palladium, dark cars give that extra "reflective shine" under the sun after a good wash, the silver one doesn't reflect as good...

C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
I think they're both gorgeous.

However, maintenance a bit easier on the Palladium since it is a lighter color.

I voted for Steel Grey. But with Pano, go silver.

2008 E350
I get a lot of compliments on my pewter E350 sport with cashmere interior. There aren't many around. Most E's are black, white, or silver with black or charcoal interior so it makes mine stand out. It is a medium gray with a hint of brown/gold. On overcast days it looks very gray. In bright sunlight it looks almost gold.

It is also an easy color to keep clean. Even when it is dirty, from a distance it looks clean. It's the main reason I got it.

Hope this helps.

Steel Grey. I had originally ordered an Obsidian Black but the car was delayed and the dealer said he could get me the same equipment in Steel Grey. No regrets, love the color. I like the hint of blue in it and at night it looks like it could be black.
