My W208 is brilliant silver and I really regret it because CLK looks really good in black.

I love black. It is high maintenance, but no other color shines like the way black can.

Silver is low maintenance and looks nice, but it doesn't shine like black. It's already close to the color of light, so any reflections, regardless of how many coats of wax you put on, just won't give off the same sparkles, at least not to the nake eye.

if you are gonna get black just get black not obsidian because black is more black than obsidian and looks better, more depth, more reflective.

we need a little more choices than those! how about a black opal?? Although I have to admit that when I saw a black CLK500, it looked $10,000 more expensive than mine...

obsidian black is a metalllic paint
black is just black...no metallic

i think black should be blacker and nicer than obsidian black ...
but some people say obsidian black is a little easier to keep clean
and i think it looks/lasts good longer than black...

opal black has a greenish color on it

it is a nice color...

In that case I think I choose black. Higher maintenance though.

Silver is easy to maintain.....but way too common. My vote goes to metallic black or black opal....

I do not like EGGPLANT - OBSIDIAN BLACK - on a car.

It belongs in the garden; tastes good with freshly shredded parmesan.

vivianlove -

That is the common eggplant color here -- in all of our supermarkets.

Perhaps you are confusing them with gords, part of the pumpkin family, - which usually surface in the fall and have a wide range of colors and shapes.

MB Obsidian is a color similar to eggplant, without the metallic sparkle, -- of course.
