Best color for class 2015
Just to add my 2cts .I had tough time deciding on colour for my 2014 C350 but eventually went with Diamond Silver (988) and Cappuccino (224). I haven't regretted it, in fact would probably get same colour on C400 next year . I love variations in different light conditions and the fact that its almost unique !
Both the Sedan and Wagon looks great in Tenorite Grey w/panoramic sun roof.
The red leather also looks very classy against the Tenorite (or Palladium grey for that matter.)

My first C300 was Iridium, and my current one is Palladium. With all due respects to Iridium owners, I think the Palladium shows the lines of the car better and I really like it. However ... if that new Red had been available when I ordered my car, that would have been my first choice.

I'll vote for Palladium. My C300 Sport is Palladium. Our GLC300 is Designo Cardinal Red. While I love the Red on the GLC, I'm not as fond of it on the C CLass. However, I think the best color for anyone's C Class is the color that makes their heart beat just a little faster every time they look at their car. Yes I do!

Now Now Now, not every man is into jugs! Just sayin........LOL
If you want to hide swirls and light dirt dust go obsidian. It does not have the same shine as black but if you aren't **** and detail your car on the constant that clean standard black is going to showcase every paint imperfection swirls, holograms, scratches, water marks and on and on. For the every other week washer I'd go obsidian.
My favorite color combo is the white metalic or black metalic with the cream and black with the burl walnut trim interior. I really wish they had that pearl metalic color like what they had on cadillacs and a dark purplish/burgundy metallic like what audi has. And maybe cherry wood accents inside like what the 07-13 lexus es had. Wood accents on the steering wheel would be cool too.
Brilliant blue is not yet available stateside, I love it, hope they bring it in time for the C450 coupe, I configured a brilliant blue on the italian site a while back, european configuration is a completely different paradigm.

I went for the Palladium Silver with light grey interior - both really suit the S205, and the light grey lifts the interior nicely. I also love the way the Palladium almost seems to change shade depending on the lighting.
Almost went with the Hyacinth Red, and black interior, but no regrets for my final choice.

Coloured interior (shirt), monochrome exterior (suit).

So black, white, any of the million shades of grey exterior. Awesome with red leather.
Red, blue, or green exterior. Ivory, grey, or black interior.
