Opinions of Capri Blue P31 vs. Mars Red P31
I originally ordered my vehicle as Mars Red with P31, which go well together. I'm infatuated with Capri/Tanzanite atm, but not sure how the red calipers will look with the darker blue. I'm starting to wane away from the red because it looks 'younger' and cops notice it more. The capri looks more luxurious and not too racer boy like. Opinions? I have less than a week to change the color. Btw, which would also look better with carbon fiber?

Blue all day long. I've always wanted a nice blue Mercedes. One day, I will make that happen. I also love that brown color I saw in a pic, I think it was from Eastern Europe, not sure, though.
Red would look better with CF for sure. It would look stunning, really.
But, Blue would look sick, for sure. You could always paint the calipers a different color.

Edit: I was just joking around.
I think red looks great. But, Blue with some grey or silver calipers would look really cool. Also, maybe if you replaced the "6.3" "AMG" and "C63" badges with black ones, that would look really bold but nice.

Don't get me wrong, RED is my all time favorite colour and I think you can't go wrong with both. Blue does bring a classy, sleeper, mature perspective to the car than "ticket me" red...

I have a red C63 and the reason why is because the vast majority of Mercedes in the world are Silver, black or white and I wanted to have something different. Mars Red gets the attention.

The blue looks amazing... it looks black at night, and blue during the day. CF parts (front lip, diffuser, roof spoiler & even trunk spoiler) would flow very nicely & subtle with blue.

I think this car in Mars Red will get too much attention from vandals and cops--the P31 calipers are a brighter red and do not match Mars Red, so I think it may look mismatched.
I love the C63 in red, but it might be too much for everyone to handle!
Generally, I'm not a fan of blue cars, but I think it's a better choice if you're going P31.
Check it out on a C class before you order it, if you like it on the regular C than you'll be fine with it on the C63--you can always wrap the car at a later date.
I'm boring it's either black or silver cars for me--red F-car (or CLK BS in Red) and that's it
Good Luck

Steel Grey is awesome.. then again.. that is the colour of my c63 
So I am biased...
I do like blue though, not so much the tanzanite/capri blue, more the lighter one from another thread here (asking what the colour is). It's very similar to the Tornado Blue my VW used to be.... I like that..
