I now am buying dark colors .. as I get paranoid about paint matching if there is a fender bender or any other type of body work done.

I also hate how the bumper is mismatched on lighter colors or grays.... i understand why it's mismatched, but just don't like it.. my next ride is black/black

Irrespective of the color you finally choose, I would not get the rear spoiler. I had a 2011 white e350 and now a 2014 white e350...the new one has a spoiler, the 2011 didn't.

The 2014 is constantly dirty on the whole area under that spoiler (rear of trunk, the gap under the trunk, the rear bumper. The spoiler obviously changes the air flow (as it should), but the car is much harder to keep clean.

I would have the spoiler removed, but it's a leased car.

While I love the look of dark colors, I am too OCD about keeping cars looking clean. Nothing beats the look of black when clean but I cannot keep them clean.

"the best color" is a bit subjective, but what's objective are the trends - and right now white still seems to be the shade of choice in the luxury game. i'm a huge fan of a really good blue, myself.

black is always in style, but a lot of people can't handle a black car in the sunshine states. it's just too hot. i can't deal with a black car for this reason. looks tight though.

^ to me those look like porcelain/black nappa leather seats. the nappa has the contrast piping around the seat borders.
