In my case, no, as the car is on a two-year lease. The extra for the metallic paint made a difference to the cost, but which colour didn't.

I could be wrong - but I just checked the configurator now.

On the UK configurator I chose the c200 estate amg line, brilliant blue is an option.

Irrelevant, the car is a keeper. Hopefully.

I stand corrected.

It's not available on the saloon which is why I was getting confused.

I asked about resale value as I would imagine that the brighter 'non-standard' colours may be a hard sale afterwards, whereas the whites/blacks/greys would be more desirable.

Mine is a keeper too but I'm almost certain mine will be diamond white.

Thanks for the explanations, everyone.

Seems like a bit of a strange decision from MB UK.

Hello, at the end which color you choose?

I am currently in exactly same situation as you were, will change my car and will take a C-Class, trying to decide if Blue or Red as you were thinking, The color of the interior will be grey.

The Brilliant Blue metallic looks very good on W205, the color should be avalible for every W205 model in EU.
Why would UK be an exception?

I think ALL the colors are really really nice. "Usually" people have some memory/history and they chose a color to tickle those fancies. For e.g. your home exterior is white, then a white looks real dashing, and vice versa.

However I find myself looking at the white as a cost saving and as something you could wrap elements and it stands out the most. I also find myself looking at the mid grey (palladium) which IMHO looks quite classy in the estate version of the car.

Blue is still my first choice, but what do you guys think about the colours? Bear in mind, the interior I want is the grey leather with the matte black ash wood.

Given up on a S205 and ordered a S212
In March I had a Hyacinth S215 200 sport order cancelled because they couldn't supply. So I ordered an E class... 18% off list too My UK spec S212 250 SE (advangarde in the rest of the world I believe) wagon. Silk beige and burr wood combination coupled to the 211bhp petrol engine. This combination was exactly as I had specified on the C class. It doesn't photograph well and goes from Orange to burgundy as you put more wax on. It's another route to ponder...




Hyacinth red 250SE S212

C220d Avantgarde
I always liked classic color combinations. My current Alfa Giulietta is black with a red leather interior. For a Mercedes silver with a red interior is a classic combination. But you see it so much it gets a bit cliché. So i decided to get a black C-class with sattelbrown leather. Just like the 600 pullman :-)
