Palladium silver... It's the best colour.... What a Merecedes should look like!

Both suit the car. Palladium gives slightly more substantial/heavy look to the car due to the greater colour depth. Where I would go for the " lighter look" of Iridium is with the optional panoramic sunroof option which gives a large part of the roof a black appearance. If fitted the lighter Iridium balances up the overall colour aspect of the car better imho.

ps have a look at the numerous examples listed on the Mercedes used car listings but beware! some of the images are very poor or have weird colour balance. Best examples are taken outside in reasonable lighting conditions.

I personally prefer Palladium.

Thanks for the replies.

I won't be getting a panoramic roof. I have been looking on Auto trader for various pics but sometimes you don't get the true image.

Is this Palladium in the video?

Palladium for me too.

I think that is Palladium in the video, it has deep almost almagum/mercury like colour to it.

 

[jonnymerc]

Palladium for me, but then again I would say that

More gravitas with the Palladium. Palladium for me.

YUP = NICE! No panoramic sunroof I would go Palladium. Only time Iridium trumps it is in low ambient light where Palladium can look a little flat especially if not clean. However under showroom lights and clean Palladium is stunning!

I was thinking of a palladium Coupe myself, but having been back to have a look at some example, on dull day like today it does look very flat, so am now leaning towards tenorite or back to white even (need to make my mind up this week).

Iridium for me, the palladium can look grey, especially when not spotlessly clean.

Palladium is silver grey, I went Palladium and pretty pleased with it on the E Estate.

Stays looking clean for a very long time.

Another Palladium E Estate here, I think it's a great combo! And stands out from the fleets of black and silver Es.

Palladium has more depth and colour.

iridium is too bright

I've got cubanite silver on my C Class - its a nice goldish/beige tinge to the silver. Don't think they do it any more

I don't like silver, but bought my E500 as a bargain, and it came in iridium, which I now prefer to other silvers. Can't picture palladium at the mo.
