Getting ready to place an order for a 2026 CLE53. Will be my fourth blue Benz. Torn between the color options for the interior between these two exterior colors. Coming from a Starling Blue E53 Coupe with Black/Red Nappa interior. Pics and observations would be helpful!!
I had a C43 with Brilliant Blue exterior and Cranberry Red interior and loved it . I now have CLE 53 with Patagonia Red exterior and red /black interior - too much red for some ,but I love it . My previous car was an E450 with Rubellite Red exterior and Beige interior which was eye catching ,but I think I prefer the darker interior .
When I shopped for my 2025 CLE AMG 53 The Wifey wanted me to get Starling Blue. She already has a blue 2020 Audi A7 and I did not want another blue car (and this is primarily my car). So I went with the Sun Yellow and Black Nappa/yellow accent interior.
But my observation of the Starling Blue is that it looks much better (to me) with brighter wheels and trim. So no black out options. And when I did consider the Starling Blue I would have replaced the MB wheels with aftermarket HRE 520 mesh style wheels.
To each his own. The car is pretty much good looking in any of the color offerings.
My Sun Yellow gets a lot of attention and positive comments. I blacked out the body-color roof section and it looks much better.

I too had a 2019 C43 Brilliant Blue with Cranberry interior and loved it. Now I have a Starling Blue CLE53 with Black interror with red accents, also love it.
Not a lot of color choices, I'm not a fan of yellow. Red is nice. But if we're voting, I would say shiny Brilliant Blue and, if you want the gangsta' look, Matte Black.
