Is a BLACK w204 lci c300 the worst color to have? (No Race Bait)
Seriously what are the color options? Black on black? Carbon Fiber on black?
brb don't like chrome so I have to put a black grille on
brb 23k for the car now another 1500$ to get it wrapped.
Edit: Gloss black on matte/gloss or carbon fiber black is tacky as all fuck imo.

You're talking about something completely subjective. My favorite car colors are black, grey and white. I feel black is more menacing and classy, grey is sporty and masculine, and white is bright and energetic. It's all personal opinion.
I personally am running black on black on black. Black car, black rims, black interior. I had a carbon fiber spoiler, but that got smashed when I got rear ended.

Black - the most beautiful color.
Never again for me - once is enough. Sold a near perfect black convertible because keeping it as clean as I wanted was an everyday job that was driving me nuts.
If you don't mind all of the swirls and dust showing, and if you live in a place where it's often cloudy (sun shows up each imperfection to the max) you may be OK. Maybe not.

Keeping a black car clean is a pita. It is so awesome when just washed and detailed. 2 days later a wreck. But again I'm **** about it, so other people might be happy with it.

The benefit is, it looks best when it's clean and also at evening/night when the sun is gone 
I live in WA, it's always cloudy here. I have no problem with black cars! Except it is still hard to take care and have to be picky where you wash the car

I mean't in terms of customization. I feel the biggest draw back is that a black MB is very common. I think white, silver and even red have a lot more options when it comes to accent colors.
Glossy black MB with a matte grille and carbon fiber lip is way to many different shades of "black" and just looks dirty to me. I google image searched for 2012 black c300 to get ideas and every car looked the same just different years.
