The tail lamps are two-piece for the first time in the new C-Class Estate and available with partial or full LED technology. The light intensity of the brake lamp varies between daytime and night-time within legally permissible limits. Source: Daimler

Does both version look the same, I know manufacturers are very clever with disguising the look of the non LED lights. My car has the LED headlights (not the full adaptive), I haven't checked the tail lights, but it should be.

^ Then they should be LEDs. Halogens looks a bit different.

Just checked my car and the user manual, the reverse lights on the Estate is halogen even though the rest of the tail lights are in LED. Apparently this only applies to the Estate and not the sedan.

It is rare to see another C 250 estate around. This would have been my color of choice instead of white, but now I prefer white more, what do you guys think?

I would have prefered the Selenite grey. Not such a big fan of white cars. Besides, there is not so many sunny, hot days in the part of the world where I live, so there is less reason to take white.

I also like this selenite grey better than white. Although it will probably also look quite mean in black or canary yellow! LOL!

This looks like Palladium Silver to me (unfortunately, the color is now discontinued, but it was available for the C Class).

I think the Palladium silver is a shade lighter than this? The grey on this C class looks very similar to my friend's S 500 coupe. Can't really tell under the lights inside the car park.

At first I was indifferent towards the white color, but then it grew on me especially when you look at the car out on the road, it contrast nicely with the black grills and the privacy glass. Here in Sydney at least, white Mercedes are very popular, especially for the C class, it is probably the most common color I see.

The white color is very time consuming to maintain, even the slightest amount of dirt and dust will show up instantly, especially after the rain. So now washing the car takes me an extra hour.

Agree - the light makes it really hard to distinguish, and the Palladium is lighter than the Selenite.
The colors are very similar though, and it is probably not a coincidence that Selenite replaced Palladium (and Tenorite grey).

When I look at the first picture, at the bumper right below the headlight, to me it looks like it's a silver, and not grey color.

One thing I like about certain MB's colors is that there is another color present, in a subtle tone:
1. Iridium silver - it's silver, with a shade of white
2. Diamond silver - it's a silver, with a shade of ice blue
3. Palladium silver - it was a silver, with a shade of grey.
Also:
4. Ruby black - a black, with a shade of red
5. Magnetite black - a black, with a shade of green.

I really don't know which color looks the best. Iridium silver is simply timeless and it looks just right on a Mercedes. I have also seen one estate in diamond silver, and it looks really unique under the sun, however at night the color shifts to more blue than silver. Tenorite grey is also a favorite of mine, it is like a deep dark grey with a ever so light hint of blue?

 

[W201]

I think it is, the color is very interesting in person - it's not dull like an usual grey, but it is not in your face either.
