Hard to tell for sure on a monitor but it sure looks like iridium silver metallic to me.

It may be the lighting but it looks more like Mojave Silver to me.

I had a iridium silver GLK before and it does not shine that much. My ML350 is paladium silver you think the mojave silver will be a in-between or will look brownish? Somehow that color looks like liquid metal in the pictures which I like. I want something light but not white as the SUV is big so I want it to look light (LOL!) My C300 is teneorite gray so dark gray color won't fly.

It looks like Mojave Silver to me since Iridium Silver is quite a bit brighter looking I think. If it is Mojave, be sure to have a good look under daylight conditions before you commit ... Mojave has a hint of beige in it in my option, so it might not be exactly what you're expecting.

The owner says it is Selenite, it is lighter than any Selenite I have seen but could be the lighting.

Juri,

I think the first picture I post is not selenite after seeing your car as it is too light. Thanks for the picture BTW. Now I am thorn between irridium silver or selenite gray. I think the mojave silver's beige shade is now being taken out from the equation. Decisions decisions......

I hope you are looking at your color choices on vehicles at a dealership and not from pictures or color chips. I thought the Iridium Silver looked darker on the MB build site. When I had a chance to see it in person next to some other candidate colors I was sold.
