what is the best color for ml?

I want to buy ml 63 and i cant decide which color? Now i have titaniun silver x5 e53 4.8 and color is good because in my country is rainy, windy and so on so if i want that my car be clear i have to wash it each 2 days. So i dont want black or white ml63 because i think it is mos markable colors for cars.

if you have some pics with colors of ml please show

(doesnt matter if it will be not ml 63 on photo i just want to see which color is best for ml)

in my opinion the best color is silver because all photos in mbusa for ML 63 AMG is silver, i think it is good work of marketing may be this color is most suitable and fashionable for this car? like red for m6, red for c6, silver for m5...


please advice

I saw a Barolo Red Metallic 63 and it looked sharp (no pics though). I believe that Verde Brook is a colour unique to the 63 but I haven't seen one.

I went black / black but my second choice would have been pewter.

I like the lighter colours such as white, silver, artinc rain, pewter etc. The C pillar can blend in with the black glass in the dark colours and I like the look of the vehicle better when the shape of the C pillar stands out. I think it balances the shape out when viewed from the side. But to each his own as the saying goes.

a few...
My sister has an Alpine White/Beige and it's a nice pick.

If any other color, I'd go with probably flint grey or designo graphite. or black.

I love mine with the extra window tint (not on this picture):

Verde Brook (or Peridotbraun here in Germany). The color is unique and really there aren't that many around – actually I've NEVER seen it!

Here is a link to some pics from when I picked it up.

I'd say either Artic White or Alpine, the latter of which is really rare. Of course Black you can't go wrong with either.
