Having trouble picking a color (2012 CLS550)

I was about to close on a 2012 CLS550 Iridium Silver this past week but am now having second thoughts about the color. Great.

I'm going to see a Palladium Silver tomorrow - I love Iridium Silver - I had a CLK500 in Iridium? Silver (or very close to it) and thought it was a gorgeous color.

I'm coming from a Space Grey E92 M3, which is a great color, however, I'm not sure if I should be going Iridium or Palladium on this car.

I know color is a very subjective thing and everyone has a different opinion/eye. But I'd like to hear some thoughts from members on the forum regarding the colors.

What would you do? And why? What makes you like one color more than the other?

Such a gorgeous car in any case, absolutely stunning!

Can't wait to get her.

Heavily leaning towards Palladium...

Might pull the trigger this week, let's hope I can find a car with all the options...

2008 Black CLS 550
When it comes to cars.. it's Black or White for me, that's it! I think silver looks old after a while. But then again, it's my personal choice. I love the new CLS.. saw a Black AMG and fell in love with it!

Between Palladium and Iridium, I'll say go with Palladium. Enjoy your new ride

Looks like I'm going Palladium Metallic.

Saw a CLS63 today in Palladium and instantly fell in love. What a car, what a color.

Only thing missing is the Dynamic Seats - not sure why I even care about this feature missing...
