C300 Color Options

Hey guys! New to the forum and looking forward to enjoying time on here! I am getting a 2010 Mercedes C300 Sport for my 20th birthday and I am having trouble finding the best color combos and would like your opinion of the three I'm deciding from and wood trim will have to be on whatever I choose.

1. Capri Blue Metallic with Black MB-Tex
2. Palladium Silver Metallic with Black MB-Tex
3. Steel Grey Metallic with Black MB-Tex

Also if you have any other suggestions on different color combos let me know!

I have Steel Grey Metallic with grey mb-tex and love it. With that the car has black carpets and black dash so it looks very sharp but at the same time not too dark like many cars can seem with black interiors. Also I have the silver trim parts rather than wood.

There is a question?




I would reconsider an all-black interior....feels more cramped and if you are in the south, gets much hotter in summer. The black/ash two-tone has been very friendly and looks more spacious.

08 C-Class (sold)
My C-class is steel grey with black mb-tex. I think steel gray is the best color but thats just me. And I think aluminum trim looks better. I would kill to get grey mb-tex!

As much as I love Capri blue, like any dark color car, it is extremely difficult to keep clean.

I was hesitating between Palladium Silver and Steel Grey when I made the purchase in Sep 2011. After checking the actual cars, my vote went to Palladium Silver. I have been a very happy camper since.
