Thanks ak this you just keep confirming what I want in color.

That last set of pictures looks like it was edited quite a bit. I don't think thats how blue the car actually looks in person.

But then again I actually haven't seen it in person yet. Nice pictures though, car looks great.

Remember that lighting in pictures is everything. Bad lighting or a bad angle can completely ruin a cars looks than if it were seen in person.

Finally saw a MB in person. It is a hard color to photograph. If you are off on your white balance it will come out the wrong shade. The last few pics are too dark and the photos are oversaturated (the way off yellow gives it away). Looks sweet and isn't far off, but still misleading. It also isn't that light blue that shows up in a lot of pics. The closest I found based on my monitor is this picture:

The changing shades from light to dark based on light really shows off this color.

But it does look beautiful and really shows off the curves of the vehicle. I wasn't thinking of the MB before, but now after seeing silver, graphite, black and red, it is the best color with Platinum Graphite being second. Black looks nice clean but the only time I saw a clean black one was in the showroom. Anytime they were outside, dust was already gathering even though they were washed that morning. Solid red doesn't do anything for me, and the silver is too light. I really want to see white and yellow in person to make a final decision.

I think the blue (and red) really shows the curves of the car - black and white seem to wash it out...

We're gonna have to add Prussian blue to the title as well for the Canadian versions

The pearl in the paint is what really gives it that awesome kick. Really lets you see where the body lines and fender flares come together.

I want my Cheeseburger NOW!

BTW, I saved it as .png file format so that it retains all the true colors.
