Does anyone have photos of these colours?

ok so i have been searching around for the difference in these silvers, however different silvers all keep coming up. and the computerize pictures don't really show a true reflection on how they would look in person.

does anyone have a photo of these colours on a new model c class (preferably the sport model if possible):

diamond silver
Iridium Silver
Palladium Silver
Tenorite Grey


i am a first time poster to this forum as i am thinking about choosing a merc !

Diamond Silver: Silver with a baby blue tint.
Iridium: Traditional bright metallic silver
Palladium: A tonal split between Iridium and Grey with slight gold tint. Also the fastest color.
Tenorite: Darker than Palladium, no gold tint.

Palladium:

on these photos the Iridium Silver appears to be much lighter and the diamond silver and Palladium Silver look to be very similar. is this what its like in person?

in these photos palladium looks slightly darker than diamond.

how much difference is there in the grey and palladium?

Gray is several shades darker and has bluish undertones. Palladium is lighter has more gold undertones. I felt like gray was so dark I'd rather just go with black.

In terms of hue dark to light it would go Black, Gray, Palladium, Diamond Silver, Irridium, Polar or Diamond White.

Luckily the first dealer I went to had a C in every available color and it was a bright sunny day so it became easier to rule stuff out.

Pretty. Looks like Palladium as a matte finish.

I'd get my C450 in this color, no question...too bad it's not an option in the 450.

Have a look at this page: http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwOz...HQ7CNUA/videos
Recorded with a good camera.

That's the diamond silver colour. It looks different in every single situation (low light or at sunny days for example). I like the colour a lot. Here are two photo's:
