IMO, Palladium is the best looking color for the C63. I had to settle with Iridium Silver.

I have black but if I had it to do over again I'd get Palladium or Iridium in a heartbeat.

I used to think all the colors looked sharp on this car. Until I went to AMG's website and saw quartz blue! I don't think I've ever seen a blue C63.

I went with white thinking it was going to be easier to keep clean. Wrong! Still happy with it. My next one will be black or mars red.

Mars Red is sooo nice. I had a C350 in that color and miss it. I still really like the white with black interior that I have now, but that red/black combo is hard to beat.

Definitely go with Palladium...I couldn't find a loaded P30 car in Palladium so I had to take black...Palladium is THE best IMO.

C63 AMG/palladium silver
I've owned a black vehicle before. I would wipe it/dust it and an hour later it needed a wipe down again. Black looks great when clean. Too much work for me.

I actually wanted to get Paladium silver, but the only color the dealer had was Iridium silver so i just got that. Black looks AMAZING on the C63, but its just soo hard to keep clean.

That has to be one of the most aggressive colors on the C63. Great choice.

Quite the opposite---both times I purchased black vehicles, I wished I had purchased silver or white or graphite instead! Impossible to keep clean!!!

My C350 was black. Nice when clean but shows every blemish. No more black cars for me. When buying my C63, there were almost identical black and iridium silver on the lot. Went with silver without even thinking about it. No regrets at all.

I happy with my Palladium and certainly have no regrets. In saying that, there are definitely a few other colours I’d also be equally as happy with.

My original choice was Palladium until my eyes came upon
an Obsidian Black at the dealer and I was sold.

...Black is a b_tch to keep clean but when it is, nothing
looks better imo.

I went with black instead as well since Palladium was just shades too light underneath direct sunlight compared to BMW Space Grey or Porsche Meteor Grey.

Black hides bumps on a hood, the sport look of a car.
Palladium silver makes it more visible.

Black car looks badass especially if you tint your windows!
