Color?

What color would you guys recommend for the C class?
I am thinking about getting Black on Black. But if anyone shows me a better combination I will consider it

Black on black, which is what I have, looks really good.
But with white, you can do so much more, in my opinion.
Like the white/black theme on the outside that's been done and looks really good.

Those are my 2 favorites, but silver and gray look really good, too.

Black on Black (Wood Trim).
Black on Black (Birdseye Maple or Aluminum Trim)
Black on Almond (Wood Trim)
Steel Grey on Black (Birdseye Maple of Aluminum Trim)
White on Black (Birdseye Maple Trim, Wood Trim, Carbon Fibre, of if you can't find those then Aluminum Trim)
Palladium Silver on Black (Birdseye Maple, Wood, Carbon Fibre, or Aluminum Trim)

I wouldn't recommend the grey interior. I drove a 2007 MB C230 for a while and personally I think it gets marks on the easiest. But that's just my personal opinion. If know carbon fibre or birdseye maple are not offered from the factory but i'm including them anyway in case you want to DIY).

If you want to be original, the blueish outside color is really nice actually. I don't know what the name specifically is but I saw one in Florida when I still lived there.

Coolest in summer.
Safest - easy to see.

Stays looking newer longer....no fading.

I'm thinking chrome yellow with the puce velvet interior. That way you will never lose it in the parking lot.

Or, just the usual black, white or silver.

If you want a good selection of matching accessories like wheels, etc. : White
If you don't mind washing and keeping your car clean and have a covered garage : Black
If you park your car outside : Iridium Silver | Palladium Silver | Steel Grey

Palladium Silver is a beautiful color but matching wheels and accessories is very tough to achieve. Black wheels don't look right(I tried black WORK VS-XX's).

I love the steel gray... I've got a black on black - although it may take some more effort to keep clean, I think its worth it. See link in signature for photos, etc.

So you proved that you can get a bunch of people post about what color they bought. lol

Color's a personal choice. Get what you like.

You'll have to go to the dealership and see them for yourself. I had Tenorite Gray > white > black in mind when I went to get mine, but I eneded up getting the Palladium Silver with no regrets. Who knows?
