Thank goodness it is a bit off-white. I really dislike the refrigerator look. Polar white is gorgeous.

I agree the white is not a "cold white" that some manufacturers use (Ford/Kia etc) but I think it looks fantastic. The Diamond White looks several more shades off-White, to me.
It's simply a fact that every manufacturer has their take on colours - exactly the same applies to Reds, Blues, Greens, Silvers........). Got to say, if the shade of the colour is such an issue, why did you choose it?
Compared to my SL painted "White DB 050", my "Polar White" C300 looks pretty darn white. The SL's paint is original and if you pull off one of the marker reflectors, the paint underneath hasn't yellowed/faded over the years.
yea my car is white. the subtleties you guys are describing are indistinguishable to me. the white on our cars is "nicer" than the whites ive seen on almost every brand of vehicle. that's my description
OP here. Back in 2021, we decided to go with the Polar White. No regrets. That said, we had a 3-year lease. So can't speak to anything beyond that.
FWIW, we did switch to the Graphite Grey Metallic for our 2024 C300. Just for something different. But definitely considered getting the white again.
