Cropped it, then adjusted the color and sharpened it to give it definition. There was not a lot of color data in the pic to begin with, so the adjustments just helped with meeting the kb size limitations.

Agree! That is exactly what I'm thinking!

Now if Brilliant Blue was offered in the US that for sure would have been my first choice.

I'm getting the night pkg regardless.

I have seen a few mineral white from BMW and wouldn't say there is any yellow in it, its more of a silver mixed metallic into the white. I have not seen Mercedes Diamond white (that I know of) so I can't help in comparing them, but yellowish tint would be


My previous C63 was palladium silver and its a great color, I never noticed blue hints in it (as someone else stated), its just a very light silver. Was too boring for me though. In fact all Mercedes US colors are boring, they have a few reds out there but nothing like Audi or BMW offers for colors, especially in blue (Brilliant Blue would have been the only one, funny how its the #2 color in this poll and they don't offer it in the country where the car is produced!)

Hhhmmm. I was under the impression that Palladium was a darker silver...almost a gray.

Anyways, you are right, Mercedes has the worst color pallet of Audi, BMW, Porsche. It's too conservative.

For blues, Audi has Sepang and others, BMW has a whole bunch of blues, Porsche has Sapphire blue, etc, etc.

Unfortunately, Mercedes sedans don't convey the exciting colors very well. The aesthetic is more of the classy than sporty type. Which is fine, but it limits the color pallet.

Every new M model, BMW enthusiasts are eager to see the latest M colors. AMG enthusiasts in the US get to choose between white, black, and silver every year so they properly blend-in with society.
<end colors rant>

All I know is that I will have the first Iridium Silver in the US. haha


The lighter color cars will show off the Pano roof better (White, Iridium, Palladium, Steel).

Well, I am definitely excited to see pics of your car! I think I'm all off on my MB colors even after googling images. I think Iridium is a color that I will like.

Nice!

I love watching a car fresh off the assembly line...well, almost there!

I'll be waiting for the black cross spokes, but those 5 spokes look great.

Black Cross Spokes probably won't be orderable to MY 16.

Ok, thanks JP! I was assuming they were only delayed until later this year. No problem, I am also considering the coupe as well, so I can wait... sorta, lol!

No love for Diamond Silver?

I actually really like it, but it doesn't seem to be a popular color. Is it because of the blue hue? In the videos it looks great IMO.

Coming soon
This is why such a thread is here.
I'm actually surprised that there is no love for Diamond Silver, maybe because there are other colors out there fits people's taste better than diamond silver? I don't know.


My friend ordered Diamond silver c63 but changed to designo red now.


We discovered something new though, C63 diamond silver will be unique on streets

I'm all for having a less common color albeit still being classy at the same time. Yes, this following video shows a C450 in Diamond Silver, but it still looks really nice on the W205 in general. The sun really brings out the blue. With the Night Package, black spoiler, and black wheels it would look very nice. Maybe it reminds me of Silverstone on the M3, but I'll have to see it more in person.

BTW, I am really liking this C63/C6S iteration over the M3 the more I see pics. It truly is a beautiful car and Mercedes has done a great job.
