Question color choice

Gentlemen,

talk to me.

Tectite or Black.

I saw a Tectite, absolutely badass. Have yet to see a Black outside of pictures here and there.

Either or... BOTH look smokin' on the E. My choice was Melanite black but good 'ol black or Obsidian will look incredible.

I'm not a big fan of tectite which is a metallic charcoal seen pretty frequently thesedays on BMWs and Vettes amongst others. Melanite or jade black is a beautiful very uncommon color that appears black but only in bright sunlight appears like a deep metallic green. I would have ordered jade black except it only comes with charcoal interior and I relly like the contrast in the two tone blue/charcoal interior. Basic black and obsidian are very nice and look very similar unless you look very closely for the metal flake. One of the E55s at the AMG challenge that we drove had an incredibly ugly color combo-desert silver with charcoal interior. This one won't sell very high when auctioned off in a month or so.
