Go with the Blue! Silver is very low maintenance. It's hard to tell when a silver cars is dirty. But it's also not as stunning as a darker color when it's clean.

I love washing my black E55, it's theraputic. But of course with black I get a lot of therapy. (but for quick touch ups I use a California car duster)

The reason is, silver and black Mercedes look great. And while there is the factor of wanting something different from the masses, I think that is overridden by pride of ownership. I don't see the other silver Mercedes anymore. I see MY silver Mercedes.
