Best color for C Class

[thlengane]

Guys, I will be ordering my C350 in three days time. It will have the intelligent lights, Panoramic sunroof and the AMG Pack. However, I am confused of what will be the best color for this car. Should I go for Sanidine Beige or Palladium Silver? .....or besides these two, is there another better color?

Niiiiice but how will the white color be after about 3 yrs. I heard stories that it will make your car look old, i haven't investigated about this though.

Merc white is a really 'deep' finish and is unlikely to 'yellow' However white is VERY popular for taxi's and wedding cars so if you are thinking of moonlighting then white it has to be. Silver with the pano roof (which is black) looks real cool but then again so would white with a pano roof

White is a non-ageing in that the cars overall appearance and desirability does not suffer like say RED for an estate car.

Not that I am aware of, its a slight off white anyway

Will Sanidine Beige look good?

a fad colour promoted by most manufacturers for a year or so now - to be fair on some makes & models it can look stunning - but I wouldn't bet against them being almost unsaleable once they're 3-4 years old

Seeing as I have ordered mine in Palladium Silver I'd have to say....Palladium Silver.

On the white issue it may be interesting to note that our lease company apply a surcharge for white cars "to reflect the reduced resale value".

Please note that this is not my opinion and I have no wish to cause any offense, I quite like white, but is an interesting titbit that I picked up that is the opinion of one of the UKs largest fleet providers.

Sports pack looks very nice with black IMO.. But thats just my personal taste.

Black or white. (my c63 is black)

Mine is Palladium silver and is very good for not showing the dirt. I know silver grey is boring but what the heck! I do not think it will go out of fashion like some other colours.

According to this weeks Autocar white or black but definitely not green!!!!

In every other country in the world white is looked upon as a classy up market colour .Only the UK has been left behind on this and finally caught up. No way will they be unsalable in a few years time .At least there will be some second hand ones about in future, for years there was none.

time will tell - it's all a matter of personal taste after all. I've owned no fewer than 3 white cars over the years. the problem is that they look the dogs when they're pampered and godawful when they need a clean - eventually most people get fed up with all the hard work. one of the reason that "boring" silver is so popular -it lets you have the odd sunday morning off !

What about Sanidine Beige? Will it look good with AMG pack and pano roof?

Configure your colour before you buy.....................

It all depends on your own taste.

Personally I go for fire opal and save £630.
