Color Coordination (W221)

Hi everyone

I have ordered a S350 long wheelbase here in Tehran for about an April delivery. I can change my colors and options only this week. My favourite color is black for the exterior. I cannot decide between OBSIDIAN BLACK or the standard BLACK and secondly I really like the black leather (std.) interior.

1- Which black do you recommend?
2- Do you recommend Black on Black?

Thanks

Habib

i'd say that obsidian black would be the better choice. mainly because minor scratches and swirls wouldnt show as much.

as for black on black, i personally think that it's a little monotonic. but it sure does work for others. personal preference perhaps?

Poll on favourite colors

Thanks for the tips. I ordered Black obsidian and black interior leather. It would be nice if you guys listed your colors.
