I'm a novice to MB colors. Can anyone comment on Cirrus Silver? Was hoping for a nice rich German Silver like Porsche's GT Silver or MB's former Brilliant Silver replacing Iridium for new E63S Wagon build, but here we are.
I loved Brilliant Silver in the past but Iridium seemed just blah. How does Cirrus stack up?

Cirrus Silver seems to have a touch of blue in it. You should view a color chip in daylight to confirm.
Does anyone have pictures of this colour on a 2021 E63s wagon/? In Canada they call it High Tech silver and I have made my deal for one of the very few remaining builds coming in. Car is built and at the port they tell me. With any luck will have it an the end of November but will be put away as this will not see winter duty in Northern Canada. Never realized my name on this forum would be so appropriate. It is the same name used on Corvette forums, Camaro forums Bring a Trailer and Cars and Bids. I have had the Silver 1963 Corvette for over 36 years.
I have the color sample from MBUSA. Let me see if I can find it. Unlikely but I can tell you it is an amazing silver with a touch of blue. Not too blue like BMW Silverstone. Just a hint. Unlike most MB metallic paints that look like somebody dumped a jar of glitter into the mix, this silver is a gorgeous tight metallic flake. (Similar to Selenite Grey, their most popular color.)
I finally received my Silver 63s wagon yesterday. It's called Hightech silver here in Canada and is called Cirrus silver in the U.S. We are in full winter weather here now and picked up the car after a 3 1/2 hour drive on lousy road conditions pulling the enclosed trailer. The drive back was better as the roads cleared up a bit. First impression is I love the car and the colour but you can see i am partial to silver anyway. This car will probably not be winter driven and be a fair weather car for me. As you can see below my username silver63 now has 2 meanings to me.
Congrats. Silver is the ultimate color for a German wagon. Understated elegance. Not only that it's so practical. Looks beautiful with black accents. Enjoy.
Thanks coolcamden! Your stable looks very impressive also. The split has been with me since 1985 I did a body off when I purchased it as a basket case finished in 1987 and has 4000 odd miles on it now. The RS/SS came out of North Carolina and have had since 2010.

You need to wrap the SL silver to match, brother. )
Lol you mean start a colour matched fleet? I couldn't do it the SL65 is very rare with the mystic white paint and 2 tone interior, designo interior, distronic ,parktronic and the glass roof. On another thread I was told there was less than a handful with these options.
Nice stable you have there - '63 split window - my absolute favorite 'Vette............ My 2022 Cirrus Silver GLS 450 is on the way to the dealership - can't wait. I agree with one of the above posters - German cars should be silver -
