I know choosing a color is a very personal preferance but I'm undecided between Iridium Silver vs Design Diamond Metallic. I am going with both carbon fiber packages and the AMG night package. My thoughts are the Iridium silver goes nice with the carbon fiber, not to mention, I like silver and have had it in many cars. The Design Diamond Metallic has always been a favorite in the many MB SUV's my wife drives. Color matching can be tricky with both of those colors but my understanding is it's more difficult with Design Diamond Metallic (or maybe just the cashmere version). I'm not using color matching as my main criteria because that just puts some negative Karma on a car. Lol.
Any thoughts from members, especially those that have either of those two colors. No Black suggestions please! Yes black looks great when clean but I'm too OCD for that color. Thanks for any input and Happy Holidays!

Designo Diamond Metallic White is a nice color because it's very easy to keep clean, won't show light dirt as easy as black or other colors and has a nice tinge of purple to it at dusk (or a bit orange on sunset). During the day it's a pearl white but not too overdone.
I've had this color since new and it's been very easy to keep clean.
I love the Disigno Diamond White paint on my car. The look changes under different lighting conditions and it's amazing when clean. It also looks clean for a longer period of time.

Reason: Typo.
I went with the Iridium Silver and wrapped it in a matte PPF. Wanted a subtle look and there is a depth to the paint and PPF combo that you dont get with matte paint or other color change wraps.

Excellent resale color too!
