Here's some shots of my Palladium Silver looking particularly shiny and reflective because of where I parked and using a decent camera :B

I ordered mine in Palladium Silver because I considered the "gray" in 2010 to be too dark and the "silver" to be to light. I believe the Palladium Silver replaced the medium gray in the previous generation. To me, I think of it as lighter medium gray, but not "silver" at all. Still prefer it to any other color M-B offers.
Of course all car manufacturers are known for changing the names of auto colors every few years anyway.

I just looked at a '23 E450 in palladium silver with light grey interior, I was told it was a special order only color from then on, My '13 is Palladium silver, it's the best color I've ever had,

I like it, the only thing that is tricky is color matching. It’s a lot more than just color, it’s blending and laying the flakes down correctly. I bought my car out of town and after seeing a picture first I asked about it on a door. The salesman said, Carfax says “no accidents”. It was immediately obvious to me in person. I bought it anyway. I plan to getting the bumpers and that door repainted by a qiality quality shop here who assured me that the match will be perfect. I’ll prob get it done in the fall.

Mine is palladium as well . One of the best colors to me , iridium is nice too but it's too light . It doesn't directly show the dirt as other colors as well . However, it's like a very tricky color in case you might need a paint job , make sure you leave it to professionals or someone who knows how to deal with such tricky colors
