if you're choosing - steel gray. LOVE that color. I didn't get a choice, but black was second on my list - if you ask me there are way too many silver Mercs on the road. It's like the default color for MB. Nothing wrong with it, but today I toyed with an identical C63 but silver on the road for about a mile - frankly, I didn't feel it - just didn't jump in your face. If that's what you want, then silver is it!
As a bonus though, silver will keep cleaner looking.
Lastly - I just don't understand the push for white cars other than in sunbelt areas.

Hey,
What do you guys think of black with the beige interior?
This might be a very sexy and rich look!
Thoughts? I am only taking the car out a couple times a week, so I am not too concerned with keeping it clean.

The Sahara interior on the C63 is by far the best, I personally would not pick white paint though.
Why not try dark green or capri blue? Maybe barolo red with that interior. Obsidian black is also nice...I personally like metallic paints much more than standard, I think it shows the lines much better, and gives more depth.

WARNING This may confuse you even further.
Here's a run-on sentence on how I arrived at my final color choice:
Initially I chose black since it is so damn aggressive... but then I thought about how the little details in the C63 bodywork show up better in lighter colors and also they are easier to keep clean... so I changed my mind and ordered white.... but then after looking at tons of pictures of C63s in various colors as well as in person (and probably thinking too much), I decided that although the white stands out and is a great color, it doesn't look as "expensive" (for lack of a better word) especially in the small C-class body. IMO, the iridium silver has the advantages of white, but the lines of the car don't get as washed out in bright sunlight. Silver is also one of the classic MB colors, making it quite common...which is one reason I used to hate silver. Who knows, though... I may end up changing my mind again. Let us know what you end up deciding.
