At what rpm does your c350 idle at? Is there a range in which you should be in?

I am at 600, I was thinking I should be below 500...is that too low? I'm pretty sure my last car was around 400 and this seems high to me.

When the engine is cold, it will be above 1,000 rpm for about 20 seconds, then it will go down below 1,000 (gradually). When the engine is warm/hot, it should idle around 700 rpm.
