Polar White vs Moonlight White Metallic?
Trying to decide which color to go with for a 25 GLE63.
Besides personal preference, is there any pro/con to either one? I looked at both at my local dealer (on other cars, not a GLE) and wasn’t really able to tell the difference between the two. But they weren’t side by side either. I can see a tiny bit of metallic flakes in the moonlight but nothing that really stands out a lot.

This color choice was the hardest decision we had when building our 2025 GLE 450. My wife couldn’t tell a huge difference either so we went with polar white and put that money towards other add-ons.

I'll bet there's more difference in low light conditions. Did you do some viewing in the evening?

I had a GLE Coupe, but order a GT43 for the wife. We feel Moonlight White is the superior color. It’s the “shimmer” that makes the difference. My last GLE has Obsidian Black and there is a big difference over standard black. I no have Emerald Green and I’m never going b(l)ack!

I think I’m going to go with the Moonlight White Metallic but am going to try and look at them both in the evening first to see how they look in lower light conditions.

I did go back and take another look at the two colors side by side. In my eyes, the Polar White seemed to have a slight yellow base/tint to it, whereas the Moonlight White Metallic did have a nice shimmer to it when looking at it close up. Although in super bright sunlight, from 20 feet away, I still have a hard time telling the difference.
