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.

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.

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.
