MB seems to have picked odd shades of several colours. I mean, c'mon- Teal?! Ugh. Must be German 'style'.
I've seen a dark red 300E that looked smart (Evan on this forum has one I think) but otherwise it seems the best colours are black and silver.
Diesel owners seemed to get screwed with a lack of decent colour choices especially. I passed on a nice 300D 'cause it was champagne gold.
