Quartz Blue (code 230) on a 2010 C63?
Some of you might have know what I am thinking about special ordering a 2010 C63 AMG, but one of my sticking point is that Capri Blue (code 359) is a little too dark for my taste. For the 2010 C-class has a new light blue which is Quartz Blue, which I didn't think about it much until I saw this...
I know this is a 2010 E-class but I do think the color is rather uncommon. My family has an old 2004 E320 Wagon in Pearl Blue which is almost the exact same color, and I have never seen the color on another E-class until now. So what do you guys think of the color?
And for the record I am a normal straight guy.

Look, it's your car and your decision, but even my wife wouldn't want me to get any other color than a typically masculine color on my C63 AMG...she preferred black on this car as well.
I mean this blue color you're referring to here definitely looks "girly," and even more so on the C63 AMG, imho. It's like a "baby blue"...good for your little 2-year-old boy's room, but on your MB C63 AMG sports sedan...really? 
All just imho, of course. Enjoy whichever color you decide.
btw -- I really like changes MB did on the 2010 E-series...saw one at a local MB dealership the other day when I went to have them put nitrogen in my tires. I especially like the quad fog lights...kind of cool, imho.

Just what I was going to ask...not that there's anything wrong with that.

Please don't compare those two color (Orion Blue and Quartz Blue).
Orion is a very rare and unique color. It looks amazing in person (my friend had a CLK in that color). It is not a girly color.
Quartz Blue aka Baby Blue. Doesn't even come close to Orion, come on it looks like Alpine Rain on a ML350. Just my opinion. (My wife just passed by and said: "I like Quartz blue more")
2 yaymitch: I think GTR (Nissan) comes with Nitrogen in Tires stock. Nitrogen doesn't heat up as much as air. So, that means your desired tire presure will stay as you want it to be (like during track days) and will not change much. I might be wrong though.

Don't get me wrong, as I do like Orion blue a lot more than Quartz Blue, but it cost extra time and money on the C63 build, not to mention that AMG might say no for the car. I should able to find out when I start my ordering process later.
The Nissan GT-R happenes to be another car that I am considering, and they did started the nitrogen in tire trend. And unless you track A LOT or have a GT-R, then I don't see the reason to use it in a C63.

For those that do not know about nitrogen in your tires, read up guys...
http://www.nitrofill.com/
btw -- NitroFill isn't just for 'tracking' the car; it's for DD. A lot of car dealers and tire stores offer it as a service (e.g. GoodYear Tire Ctr's, etc.)...I always do the NitroFill in my cars and hardly ever have to refill the tires with air or nitrogen.
