C63 colors
I am very close to placing an order for an '09 C63. However, I just can't decide on the color. I know this a very subjective question, but what is everyone's favorite color in this car?
I am a fan of black but I am afraid that it may hide some of the trim details. Also, is there a big difference between black and obsidian black? I think I have it narrowed down to black (nonmetallic or obsidian), steel grey, and maybe palladium silver. I think I'm leaning towards steel grey at this point. I also like white and bright red but they are a little "loud" for me personally.
Thanks,
Doug

STEEL GREY, I have been to the dealer many of times to look at the all of the colors on the standard C Class models. I have looked at them in the sunlight and under the lights in the dark and the Steel Grey was my choice.

IMO, I believe WHITE is the nicest color, followed by Irridium silver
i think white on most german cars is the best color!
thats also why MB chose white for their c63 site
Irridium is also nice, as it almost matches the color of the AMG 5 star rims
also, mars red is one of my favorite color in general...but is very very loud

White looks great when it's clean but think you will get fed up with it after a while and you may stand out like a sore thumb! If that doesn't bother you, then go for white. Agree that black doesn't do the car justice. Favourite for me is one of the silvers or greys and my choice is the Iridium Silver which i think is the one in the brochure and in my opinion looks the best (with the contrasting black leather seats) Or palladium silver as a 2nd choice.

2009 C63
I started off with a tenorite grey (steel grey) on order having seen it a few times on a standard C which looked great. I've now seen a TG C63 a few times on the road (both full sun and cloudy) and I wasn't as happy with the colour on the 63 with the different lines of the car. I've now changed to tanzanite blue (359), royal blue in direct sunlight, deep purple-blue in low angle sunlight, and almost black under artificial light.
Good luck with the choice!

Silver looks very AMG , white looks hot , but whatever it is , you need to get it with the optional multispoke 19's and get the sidemarkers painted , steel grey is hot too , but not an agressive color.

All I can say is I've seen White a few weeks ago C63 and it looks nice but then I came across a soild Black with matching Black interior and it looks awsume unreal. I've considered other colors but Black is very Hot looking in all light conditions on this car. My 09 order has been submitted in NYC...3rd in line, Aug, Sept delivery.
BTW... I have a Black truck and really didn't want to go black again but you must see it to believe...the best!!!!

Regular Non Matallic... I did see obsidian black on a different class
car and regular black is outstanding compared to OB.
Note... On the web sites you can Not compare a Black color car with white or gray because Black does Not display well at All on LCD monitors....unless you view it a high Def LCD or Plasma TV and even then Black is a tough color to replicate on TV... trust me, viewing a Black C63 online does not do it justice, you must see it live to believe it. If you're the kinda guy that likes a sharp looking car, the regular Black C63 will knock your socks off.

I have a Palladium Silver C300
and so far its the best looking one IMO followed closely by the White.,then brilliant silver in 3rd.
I believe black is a great color but like others mentioned it really hides the aggressive look of the car.
when I get my C63 in 2010 I'll need to see all 4 before I decide.
theres always a color that screams its "YOU", "THATS GOTTA BE MY CAR!"

Capri blue is the US name for tanzanite blue everywhere else. In my opinion, it is a fantastic color.
