This is about as subjective as topics get. Straight (non-metallic) shades tend to look sportier and more youthful, while metallics tend to look more sophisticated and upscale. Pick your personality and you will know what colors you will prefer. Straight white, black, or red will all convey a sportier, more aggressive look. I rejected 9 cars in black, white, and red to find the one palladium car with a stick in a 5 state area...but that is simply my preferred "flavor".

ohh how we wish the paint color can change at a push of a button...
i have a calcite white and I love it.
I would have went for the diamond white if the dealer here does it, but unfortunately, they don't
I'd say white... but that;s just me

I am biased to the Palladium as that is what I got and I love it, it reflects in shades of green and purple if the sun hits it just right... But if you are getting the cappuccino interior the white would probably match that better. Then again it's a little silly to ask other people what color car to get, either you love it or you don't.

Color choice is subjective and each person's taste is different. You have to get up close and personal to see which color really strikes you.
If I had the 2 color choices available for me to select from I will choose white. The pano roof has a nice contrasting effect on a white car

C300 Sport/Palladium Silver on Black/P2
I go Palladium and not just because I have one car in Palladium.
I find white cars can look awesome brand new and if the car has beautiful lines as it shows every line in a LOT of detail. My mouth has dropped seeing SLS in white.
However, over time, the white cars can look a bit more tired with black primer showing through against the white, big contrast.
Furthermore, because white shows the lines of the car so clearly, I find it makes say a 10 year old car look a bit older.
The darker colors I find helps a car look fresher, longer, if well taken care of, of course.
The Palladium is an easy color to care for as silver closely matches the edges of swirls, so swirls are very hard to see on Palladium.
Plus, it will give you that bit more reflection and shine when waxed up compared to white.
I'd go with Palladium and enjoy, but you'll have to make the final call!

I checked on a lot of color combinations before deciding with Palladium plus black interior. I think the color combination looks nicer with the luxury model than with the sporty model. But this is subjective.
