Say what you will. My Manufactur Mineral White Metallic with black interior is astonishing to view, both inside and out. I did like my little red Porsche, however. YMMV.

Another round of ICE
I’d personally like to see something more like BMW colors, for example, Valencia (orange), Thundernight (purple), Austin (goldish-yellow). I can’t do a non-color color, no matter how well implemented. My retinal cones demand more stimulation than do the rods! For the EQ, I’m waiting for 2024 for the light metallic brown color (see my avatar) to launch for at least something not black/white/grey/silver.

MB twilight blue reminds me of the Maserati blu emozione.

we traded a lunar blue E class that is similar to Nautical blue. I like it too. The Twilight color is an eye catcher in person. I’d say Nautical almost looks black unless it’s in direct, bright sun light. Twilight is blue, but with a gray top color. Looks like the Atlantic Ocean blue color. Indoors, with fluorescent light (or with very low light) it has a purple tone. That is the only time it looks like that though. I’m guessing that may scare people off but it honestly never looks purple otherwise.

Always fan of lunar blue (called cavansite blue here) in my opinion it is a very elegant and traditional MB blue, I thought nautical blue was just a rename but the paint code was different and first reappeared on the W223 S-Class, I said reappear because it is an old MB colour as well from what I heard. After seeing it in person, fan of the nautical blue as well. Twilight blue I never seen though, do you mind posting a picture, thanks : )

I haven't seen Orange on MB for years (or maybe I am not at the right place at the right time to spot one), I wonder if it was that unpopular. There was Emerald green on C-Class but that too was discontinued. Back to blue for a second, unfortunately Mercedes discontinued Lunar blue/Cavansite blue for the W206 C-Class ever since 2022 December production.

See and when I sat in white with black interior, it completely underwhelmed me.

I mean it is a nice contrast, I guess your personality is more about colours that pop more, definitely not wrong with that though all personal preference.
